UK: Stray Horses Shut Down Major Highway in Southern England

A herd of more than 12 horses strayed onto a major highway in Dorset, southern England, on April 21, forcing road closures and causing significant traffic delays. The animals were spotted on the southbound lanes of the A338 near Christchurch, prompting police to close the road between Ringwood and Bournemouth. Officers managed traffic for nearly three hours while the horses were rounded up. The road reopened shortly after 2:30 PM local time.
