A racehorse had to be put down after bolting at the old racetrack in Marsa and breaking the jockey's legs in the process. The horse crashed into a car, severely injuring itself, and the poor animal was then unable to get back on its feet.

Police called to the scene assisted the man and summoned the government vet to examine the horse. But the animal was put down because of the injuries it sustained. The jockey hails from Gudja. The police are holding further investigations.
