Two Quarter Horse geldings are under treatment for trauma and other injuries sustained when the gooseneck trailer in which they were riding overturned during a single-car incident on Ohio Interstate 71 May 22. The truck's driver and four other occupants were transported to hospitals for treatment. Their conditions are unknown.

The trailer was overturned when the right front tire of the truck towing it failed, causing the vehicle to cross a median strip and strike a tree. The trailer landed with its rear end on the ground, blocking the doors and trapping the horses inside, said Ohio State Police Trooper Christopher Creech.

"We had to cut the trailer open to get to the horses," Creech said.

The animals were transported to the Lebanon Equine Clinic, where they underwent treatment to repair several lacerations and abrasions, said Derek McFadden, DVM, the veterinarian in charge of their care. One horse remains at the clinic in stable condition
