Horse Critically Injured In Contra Costa Hit-And-Run
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY (CBS SF) -- Investigators are looking for a driver who fled after slamming into the back of a horse trailer and critically injuring a horse Tuesday morning in unincorporated Contra Costa County, officials with the California Highway patrol said.
A gray Toyota Tundra slammed into the trailer at about 7:30 a.m. on Kirker Pass Road near Hess Road. The horse is not expected to survive its injuries.
