Backnang (dpa / lsw) - Three frightened horses ran across a street in Backnang (Rems-Murr-Kreis) and were hit by a car.
A 68-year-old woman was driving her car on a county road on Monday afternoon when the animals suddenly crossed the street, the police told Aalen.
According to initial investigations, the horses had been startled by a dog that was not on a leash.
The horses were so badly injured in the collision that a vet had to euthanize them.
The road has been temporarily closed.
The driver was unharmed, said a spokesman.
