New Equine Crossing in Claygate after Crash between Horse and Car (4-oct-15)

A woman was taken to St George’s Hospital, Tooting, after she fell from her house into the path of an oncoming car on the junction of Stevens Lane and Common Lane at about 14:45 on Sunday 4th October. The car was reported to be turning out of Ruxley Ridge.

The incident saw the rider sustain suspected neck and pelvic injuries. A emergency vet was called to treat the injured horse, whose condition was reported as "not serious" by Surrey Police. Those in the car were reported to be unharmed. Although the horse punctured its pectoral muscle and chipped its sternum, it is thought it will be okay in a couple of months.

A witness said: “The horse was coming down the bridlepath which runs in between Ruxley Ridge and the old racecourse and something spooked it so it ran and turned right on Claygate Common. I understand the car was coming out of Ruxley Ridge relatively quickly and the horse went into the side-back of it.”

In June 2014, a horse was hit and killed nearby in Woodstock Lane South after being spooked by some fly-tipping dumped on a bridleway.

A bridleway is to be installed on 12th October following the latest in a series of collisions between drivers and horses in Claygate which saw a woman rider taken to hospital.

Elmbridge councillor Mary Marshall said: "Hopefully it will improve the situation, though it doesn’t stop cars driving too fast or horses bolting. [This] safety measure means if a horse does bolt it will run into a pen before it can get to the open road. There’s the combination of Claygate being a very equestrian community and a lot of new residents who don’t understand the rural-ness of the area."

Marshall appealed for all horse riders to wear helmets and even sometimes chest plates in Claygate.
