A teenager who pinched a neighbour’s horse as a prank has ended up in a horror crash with a car.
He was seen riding the equine through a crossroads just as a white Fiat Duna appeared on an adjacent road.
The horse gallops straight into the motorist’s path and is hit by the hatchback.
The pair is sent spinning through the air before landing hard on the ground.

The horse is seen gingerly getting to its feet and walking away as the dazed teen sits in the road, trying to take stock of what just happened.
The teen said he took the horse from a neighbour he knows as a “bit of fun” in their hometown near Rosario, Argentina, on 4 June.
However, he lost control of the steed as he admits he is an “inexperienced” rider.
He explained: “We usually have fun trying to catch the horse and today we succeeded.
“When I got on the horse, it suddenly started running and I couldn’t stop it.”
After the crash, he said the Fiat driver got out of his car and was concerned about his condition.
Luckily, the teen and the horse only suffered minor injuries in the accident.
He sustained injuries to his legs, hips and back, as reported by Need To Know.
The horse was observed walking with some difficulty at first, but it recovered quickly and didn’t appear to have any serious injuries.
The animal was returned to its owner, although it’s unclear how the farmer reacted to the teen’s prank gone wrong.
One local commented: “Poor animal.
“As for the teen, I don’t know how he didn’t bust his head open on the ground.”
Another joked: “The Fiat looked better after the crash.”
Mariano said: “The horse appears okay, the rest doesn’t matter.”
