“According to my information, the woman and the child were taken to the hospital. The man was treated at the scene. Our police officers are investigating other circumstances on the spot,” said police spokeswoman Markéta Janovská. According to her, three people were injured, the rescue service is talking about only one injured, a small child.
“We sent an ambulance passing by. There was one slightly injured person at the scene, who we transported to the Pardubice hospital,” confirmed Pardubice ambulance spokeswoman Alena Kisiala, adding that it was an injury to the upper half of the body. According to one of the witnesses, the horse hit the boy on the head with its hoof.
An adult was transported along with the child as an escort, which is why the information about the number of people who ended up in the hospital seems to differ.
According to Kateřina Nohavová, spokesperson for the organizing horse racing association, the horse without a rider overcame the barriers between the race track and the stands. He entered the finish area among the spectators.
The premiere of the cross season is taking place today at the Pardubice racetrack. The highlight of the meeting is the Pardubice City Prize – the introductory cross country Koroka, which this year is also run as a Memorial MVDr. Jiří Janda.
