PHILADELPHIA — Commuters in Philadelphia didn’t expect to see something with real horsepower on Interstate 95 on Tuesday morning.
Drivers were accompanied by a loose horse galloping down the highway, WPVI reported.

It happened about 4:45 a.m., so luckily there wasn’t much traffic at the time, since morning rush hour hadn’t yet started, KYW reported.
Police don’t think that the horse got out of a trailer, instead, they believe it escaped from a riding club in the city, WPVI reported.
The horse was eventually captured in another part of the city and wasn’t hurt.
This horse is safe and sound with a bucket of water after a run on I-95 this AM. Police were able to get the horse off the highway, currently waiting for a trailer in Port Richmond. pic.twitter.com/hcd7ksX2Zc
