Oh man that's terrible. Hope the person and the horse are okay. Thoughts go out to them.

Rowan Blake2026-07-03T07:56:37.000Z

and maybe drive slower at dusk? just a thought 🙄

Eva Anderson2026-07-03T08:29:37.000Z

exactly. people forget this is rural. don't like it, move to town.

Chloe Martin2026-07-03T07:53:37.000Z

ffs another crash on tram rd. that intersection is a death trap. council needs to do something about it before someone dies.

Chloe Martin2026-07-03T08:11:37.000Z

yep exactly. council just collects rates and does nothing. typical.

country roads + cars + horses = this shit happens. nothing new. just sad for everyone involved.

yeah but if a horse is on a road at night it's a hazard. owner should be responsible.

Sam North2026-07-03T08:39:37.000Z

nah horses spook easy. it's not the animal's fault. driver should've been aware.

Blake Turner2026-07-03T08:27:37.000Z

lived here my whole life. horses are part of the deal mate. slow down and pay attention.

Rowan Blake2026-07-03T08:35:37.000Z

Shared roads mean sharing responsibility. Bet the driver was speeding as per usual.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-03T09:12:37.000Z

mate both sides need to be careful. it's not just one person's fault.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-03T08:51:37.000Z

tram road is a nightmare. always some kind of accident. fix the road or put up lights ffs.

Eva Anderson2026-07-03T09:06:37.000Z

hope the person recovers quickly. poor horse probably didn't stand a chance ☹️

Blake Turner2026-07-03T09:31:37.000Z

get stuffed. i grew up on farms, horses get out. it happens.

Drew Parker2026-07-03T09:19:37.000Z

typical. another night ruined because people drive like idiots. hope everyone's alright.
