Horse gets loose and gallops down Route 140
It is not every day that you see an animal cruising on an area highway, but that happened for some drivers today.
According to Massachusetts State Police, today at 11:15 a.m., Troopers from our Middleborough Barracks, along with MSPCA Police, Taunton Police, and Massachusetts Department of Transportation workers responded to Route 140 in Taunton for a horse running on the highway.
Responders were able to safely get control of the horse by using a leash supplied by MSP K9 Unit Trooper Brian Soares.
The horse’s owner then arrived on scene and a trailer was summonsed to take the horse home.
Seen here, Trooper Jason Duarte and MSPCA Officer Chelsea Weiand with the beautiful animal, who just felt like it was a good day for a morning run.
