Police officers in Minnesota who turned up to an injury motor accident found a Shetland pony in the front seat.

The Minneapolis Police Department reported on the weekend incident on its Facebook page, admitting: “You can’t make this stuff up”.

The department said officers responded to the motor vehicle crash at 11th Avenue and 6th Street.

“Officers and paramedics arrived to find a Shetland pony in the front seat of a Ford Explorer. Officers worked diligently to free the animal and see that he (or she) was properly cared for,” it said.

Minneapolis has a ban on hooved animals in the city, but the driver was off the hook, as it is OK if the animal is being transported through the city.

It is understood the animal was not injured.

No information was available on whether the poor pony got a face-full of airbag.
