Woman dies after Nowton Park horse horror

THE woman injured after a horse and carriage ran into a crowd at Nowton Park Country Fair has died.

The 57-year-old from Bury St Edmunds was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital from the park on Sunday with serious injuries and died this morning.

Eyewitnesses said the horse bolted down the Bury St Edmunds park’s lime tree avenue, which was lined with stalls and crowded with people.

DCI Nick Bennett said at the scene yesterday evening that the police were waiting for the Health and Safety Executive to arrive.

He added: “There has been an incident involving a horse and carriage during the course of which several people were injured including one lady who has been taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital. Her injuries are potentially life threatening”

At least seven people were taken to West Suffolk Hospital, all were treated and discharged.

Ruth Brighton and her mother Carol Ortega, who run the Bury based Fairy Cahoots card and gift business, saw the carriage hurtle past their stall. Ms Brighton said: “Unfortunately there was a mass of people watching a demonstration at the bottom and they got no warning.”

Mrs Ortega said: “The horse hit a man and knocked him down and he was dragged with the carriage. The horse went down on his knees – I’m sure he was trying to stop. It was horrendous. It was an awful end to a lovely day.”

The pair saw people diving out of the way as the horse ran past, including a woman who threw herself from a wheelchair. In the chaos that followed an angry man from the crowd hit the horse.

“That broke my heart,” Mrs Ortega said. “I told him to leave it alone.”

The horse, the Breton grey seen here in the picture, was from the company that recently started running carriage rides around Bury, but they were using a smaller carriage than the two-horse vehicle they use in town, drawn by a single horse.

Police said the owners were not available for comment pending the Health and Safety investigators’ arrival.

This is believed to have been the first serious accident at the annual country fair, which has been organised by St Edmundsbury Borough Council for 22 years.

Police ask anyone who witnessed the incident to call them on 01473 613500.

25 Ways the Story of an Amish Guy Who Sexted a 12 Year Old Could ...

If he looked like the dude in the header image. If he turned out to be Chris Hansen in disguise He wasn’t actually sexting, he was just writing texts in Dutch and the pictures were of obscene-looking fruits and vegetables. He was a Scientologist and blamed it on the Will of Cruise He tried to make a break for it and lead police on a low-speed horse and carriage chase through Amish country If he’d been messaging the girl with the name “Barn Raiser 69” He was Amish and the girl was Mennonite and neither one knew how to us a cell phone so it was all actually an accident He was on his way to a bowling tournament with Woody Harrelson He was driving around with Harrison Ford His dirty talk includes the words “thou” and “ye” The only euphemism he kept using was “churn my butter” He’ll get sent to Amish prison where he’ll be forced to make pies with preservatives and watch people shave their beards all day. He’s the illegitimate son of Arnold Schwarzenegger Roger Ebert sent out an insensitive Tweet about it before he was even formally charged He promised her in texts he wouldn’t flop like the Green Lantern When he arrived it turned out he was Mormon and this was an elaborate hoax to get someone to listen to him talk about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints He brought a box of Cocoa Puffs to use as roofies having heard they make us English go cuckoo. Obviously he had no radio but his horse did seem to be neighing an R Kelly song. The back of the wagon was upholstered in shag carpet His horse had a sticker that read “If thou thinkest mine horse be hung, ye shouldest bear witness to the Leviathan that resideth in my pantaloons.” He was carrying a bag full of Amish sex toys, like butter-based lube and a wooden dildo Having disgraced his people he will never again be able to mingle in public without wearing deodorant. The Amish want to punish him under the own laws which include forcing him to live out his days in “the Deviant Barn” which is where weird Cousin Jedediah who liked sheep a little too much has been staying the last three years. Being Amish, most of his texts just talked about how he wanted to rub his bottom on hers until a lot of babies fell out.
