BELOVED HORSES INJURED

—————

SAFETY CONCERNS SPARK INVESTIGATION

——————

In a shocking incident that unfolded yesterday evening, The North Commons district of the City of Mythos witnessed a heart-wrenching collision involving two horses, sending shockwaves through the local community. The incident occurred at the bustling intersection of Willow Street and Oak Avenue around 6:30 PM, during the peak of rush hour. Eyewitnesses reported the chaotic scene as two horse-drawn carriages collided with each other, leaving both drivers and the majestic animals in a state of distress. Local authorities and emergency services swiftly responded to the scene, working diligently to assess the situation and provide immediate medical attention to those involved. The collision resulted in injuries to both horses and their drivers, leading to a temporary closure of the intersection to facilitate the rescue efforts. Eyewitnesses spoke of the chaos that ensued following the collision. "It was like something out of a movie," said Emily Patterson, a resident of The North Commons. "People were shouting, and the horses were visibly frightened. It's not something you expect to see in our peaceful neighborhood." The horses, named Thunder and Midnight, were popular figures in the community, known for their gentle demeanor and frequent appearances in local parades and events. Thunder, a robust chestnut stallion, belonged to the Mythos Carriage Tours company, while Midnight, a sleek black mare, was owned by a local family who often used the carriage for special occasions. Both horses sustained injuries during the collision, and veterinarians were called in to provide immediate medical attention. The drivers, identified as Thomas Anderson and Sarah Reynolds, were also taken to a nearby hospital for further assessment and treatment. The Mythos Carriage Tours company released a statement expressing deep regret for the incident and vowing to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation. The City's Department of Transportation has launched an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the collision, including a review of safety measures and traffic regulations in The North Commons district. The North Commons community is now coming together to support the affected families, organizing a candlelight vigil for Thunder and Midnight tonight at the district's central park. Local residents are encouraged to attend and share their condolences during this difficult time. As the investigation unfolds, questions regarding the safety of horse-drawn carriages in urban environments are being raised, prompting a broader conversation about the role of these traditional modes of transportation in the City of Mythos.
