UK: Stray Horses Shut Down Major Highway in Southern England

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.
