"... I thought I was sleeping and that I was having a nightmare. How could have I imagined that a horse was going to fall into the car?"A runaway horse was plummeting down the street at about 1 a.m. when it tried to jump over William Lerroy's taxi ... and didn't make it, but went through the windshield and was killed.
Lerroy was badly cut and shook up, but was able to leave the hospital after 24 hours.
But his car – and livelihood, for that matter – was totaled. Lerroy had only bought the car in November, after making the career switch from salesperson to what you could call freelance taxi driver.
The clincher: "Although authorities located the horse's owner, he denied that the animal involved in the accident belonged to him. The animal had no markings.
... Even though the penal code sentences 'owners or handlers of domestic animals or other animals that, either for abandonment or negligence, cause damage to others' property' of 5 to 15 days in prison, the article was annulled February 28, 2008."
