Watch the moment loose horse bolts into side of car in Scots street as baffled onlookers watch in horror
CCTV footage captured the moment a runaway horse sprinted through a Dumbarton street and slammed in to a car at a junction
A runaway horse damaged a car as it galloped through a Scots town centre at the weekend.
Stunned locals watched on as the horse bolted along Dumbarton's High Street on Sunday afternoon - with the animal slamming in to the side of a car at a junction.
Luckily, the horse appeared to walk away uninjured and seemingly unfazed by the carnage left behind.
The dramatic incident happened at around 2.35pm on Sunday and was captured on CCTV from Dumbarton Harp Social Club.
In the shocking footage, the horse appears from nowhere, running at speed. It then disappears behind a van waiting to pull out from the junction. As the van pulls away, the horse is then seen slamming in to the passenger side of a grey car which was also waiting to pull out from the junction.
The car was hit with so much force that it was briefly lifted up on to two wheels as it rocked back and forth. Footage later showed the side of the car damaged, with dents along the door and side panel.
Locals then managed to get the horse under control as baffled onlookers tried to piece together the events.
It remains unclear where the horse came from and how it came to be bolting along the busy street at such speed.
The shocking clip has been viewed more than 48,000 times on social media.
Police Scotland have been contacted for comment.
