Troopers said one horse was killed and three vehicles were damaged in a nighttime crash west of Sinton; no serious injuries were reported.

Loose horses caused a multi-vehicle crash Monday evening on State Highway 188 just west of Sinton, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). 

DPS said one horse was killed, three vehicles were damaged, and one driver was transported to the hospital. 

No serious injuries were reported.

Troopers were notified of the crash at approximately 7:11 p.m. They said two horses had escaped and were on the roadway when a 2010 Nissan Rogue traveling east toward Sinton struck one of the animals. 

The impact killed the horse and caused the driver of the Rogue to leave the roadway.

A 2023 Chevrolet Traverse traveling behind the Rogue then ran over the deceased horse, resulting in damage to its undercarriage.

Troopers reported that the second loose horse was later struck by a 2016 Lincoln Navigator, causing minor vehicle damage. 

The two occupants of the Navigator were not injured, and the horse was secured back behind a fence.

The Nissan Rogue was driven by a 60-year-old woman from Sinton and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
