A woman in an SUV ran over and killed a
miniature horse in downtown Fort Smith after jumping a curb and
running down a parking meter.
The eight-month-old horse named "Peaches" was owned by Classic
Carriage Tours and had become a popular fixture in the city.
Peaches was tied to Classic Carriage Tours` trailer next to a
restaurant on Garrison Avenue when she was run over yesterday. A
second, full-size horse who was tied to a post on the sidewalk, was
taken to a local veterinary clinic with possible injuries.
Police officer Rich Entmeier says the driver was hurt and was in
serious condition at a hospital. He says several types of
medication were found in the Chevrolet Blazer.
