How many horses can claim to have galloped across the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, Mumbai's swanky bridge meant only for vehicular traffic?

But Payal, a 4-year old horse galloped across the bridge leaving the cars and people behind and stunning everyone including the bemused toll attendants.

Payal was all decked up to be wedding horse but some unfortunate groom was left without his ride as she ran away leaving her minder injured after being scared by a loud noise, reports the Indian Express. Her run was recorded by the various CCTV cameras on the sea link as seen in the video.

The runaway horse covered 413 feet in 8 minutes as she ran from Teacher’s Colony in Bandra to the end of the sea link where she was caught and subdued by the police and some Israeli tourists, continues the report.

The video shows Payal weaving in around the cars near the tool booth at the entrance of the sea link while the attendants watch helplessly. She then takes off across the length of the bridge, navigating through the rush-hour traffic properly and reaching the end of the winding lane.

“We didn’t want her to stop until she reached the end. That way, she wouldn’t get hit by a vehicle or cause damage to a car. We were more afraid that she would jump into the sea,” toll attendant Rajesh Kedar told Indian Express.

Payal was startled by by the noise of a BMC garbage truck came up from behind, according to her owner Vijay Chulaisa. Her vanishing act cost the owner not only the wedding job but also left the horse rider with a fractured leg.
