Hi. I just missed the accident by five minutes. I saw the trailer on it's side, the back side exposed w/ two horses inside and they were not moving.(they looked dead) Gravel was heavily all over the first three lanes of the 605 frwy and the tires of the trailer were in the carpool lane and a small car bumper in the middle lanes.
Seeing the horses looking lifeless was haunting. I hope truly I am wrong and hopefully no people were injued also. I look forward to reading fresher updates to this accident.
My co-workers knows the person involved in the accident. And unfortunately, one horse was badly injured and had to be put down. The other horse did have one laceration, but he is doing fine now.
