Brookledge accident

Has anyone heard an update on the accident Brookledge had? I have heard conflicting stories on how the horses are. I know the driver was airlifted to a hospital.

Sorry I know nothing but I am praying for a good outcome. Nothing is so terrifying as roads and horses.

This article I saw the other day has not been updated.

Sounds like the semi behind the Brookledge hauler was following too close and not paying attention. Far too common.

Overall today, drivers terrify me. I wish speed limits would be lowered and the highway patrol was everywhere. In my area, after a light turns red, three more cars go through it.

The article said the horses were ok. I hope that is true. Semis scare me.

We had our trailer t boned into the side of our trailer by a jeep that ran a stop sign, one horse was on board at the time and he was fascinated at the destruction of the jeep which was in pieces outside his window.

Trailer was a steel on steel frame and was not damaged, jeep was pretty much destroyed

The police just took the report and hauled the jeep off, we continued home

I definitely think I’ve saved my life many times by looking both ways after the traffic light turns green.

Just posted to Instagram an hour or so ago… Geoffrey Hesslink’s Monarchy was lost in what sounds like this same accident. So so sad.

Very sad news.

I had heard one was lost, but I was hoping it was just a rumor.

Heartbreaking.

Soooooo awful…

Terrible news :sob::sob:

What a nightmare. Beautiful Monarch, rest in peace.

Lowing speed limits won’t do anything. Neither having cops out. Accidents are just that and will always happen.
