BANGOR (AP) – A runaway racehorse that was attached to its unmanned sulky escaped from the track at Bangor Raceway and trotted onto an Interstate 395 on ramp before the occupants of a pickup truck managed to corral the horse.
Police said Jeremiah Jones, owned by Paivi Brown, made its way from Buck Street to Main Street and then headed up toward the highway before being stopped by Christopher Hitchcock of Hampden and a couple of other men in his truck.
The horse was returned to Bass Park and there were no reports of injuries. The pickup received minor damage to its side as the driver pulled up alongside the horse in an effort to grab its reins.
