A horse bolted at the Salina coast road earlier today, hitting a car, eyewitnesses said.

The horse escaped from a private enclosure onto the road, where it hit a car. It was immediately followed by a police car which happened to be near by. A driver stopped his vehicle and with help from the police managed to get hold of the horse in what was described as "something out of Indiana Jones".

No one was injured, except the horse, which is being taken care of by its owner.

Officials from the Animal Welfare Department were on the scene.
