At least eight people have been injured, including one seriously, after a horse and cart got loose at an organised event in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
Suffolk Police said it appeared that several people had been run over at the town’s Nowton Park, with one person potentially in a critical condition.
The police said that up to another 10 people may have been injured, many with back or abdominal injuries.
They are now appealing for witnesses.
The police said that the person most seriously injured was a woman thought to be in her 40s.
They added that she “is believed to have sustained life threatening injuries”, and is being taken to Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge.
Seven other injured people have been taken to West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds.
The police added that the up to 10 other people who were injured may have made their own way to hospital.
They said they were contacted by the ambulance service just before 1630 BST.
Anyone who saw what happened is asked to call Suffolk Police on 01473 613500.
The Health and Safety Executive have been informed.
