A Shreveport man struck a horse on his motorcycle when the horse suddenly sprinted in front of the man’s motorcycle on a highway. Both the man and the horse died in the accident. Authorities continue to search for the identity of the horse’s owner.
Animals can cause several different types of car accidents. First, a car may swerve to avoid hitting an animal, causing the driver to lose control and crash into another vehicle. On busy highways and rural roads, single-car accidents are also becoming more prevalent. A single-car accident typically takes place when a driver collides with a stray farm animal or wild animal.
An accident involving a stray animal can cause devastating injuries and serious damage. In particular, a collision with a large, idle farm animal, such as a cow or horse, can cause life-changing injuries and even death. However, complicated causation questions create obstacles for the injured to recover just compensation for injuries.
