Dana makes a great point, however the problem with the driver was that he
had priors for DWI and fled the scene. These horses were white and buckskin
so the bright colors where almost a moot point in this particular incident
since that is as bright as you can be for a horse! But I find the driver
telling the police the next day upon turning himself in that the he "thought"
he hit a deer to be a tad off the wall. Deer just do not come that big and
so perhaps the hair of the dog that night was his major problem. As for the
riders, I beleive they were where visibility could have been poor, possibly
on the shoulder of the road...single file or even double, that part was not
clear....they did go over an embankment falling into a creekbed....I doubt
seriously either horseman intended to jump there. The type of vehicle was
nto disclosed. Both the horseman and the vehicle drier could have been at
fault, but if the horses were visible, the driver should have yielded to them
for horses have the right of way. So many times, failure on DRIVERS part to
yeild to horseman is why to so many horsemen end up gettign hurt while
riding on the road. And they don't have to be drunk, just stupid and
speeding.
