CCTV footage has captured the shocking moment a horse struck a car whilst running loose on Dumbarton High Street.
In videos shared on social media, a black and white horse is seen careening down the street before approaching a junction on the road.
After a white van leaves the junction to enter the High Street, the car behind moves forward before the animal runs straight into the side of the car, rocking it violently.
A further video posted on Facebook shows the horse being wrangled on the pavement further down the road as members of the public rush to help.
The dramatic incident has since been viewed by over 45,000 people on social media.
It is understood that no injuries were reported.
Police Scotland says the owner came to pick up the horse before police arrived at the incident.
A spokesperson for the force said: "Police received a call around 2.35pm on Sunday, 1 June, 2025, regarding a horse running loose in Dumbarton.
"Officers attended, but the owner had picked it up."
Locals took to Facebook to share their concern for the horse and the driver of the stuck vehicle.
One wrote: "Full-blown flight mode. Absolutely horrific. Lucky no one was killed, and I hope the horse has been seen by a vet."
Another chimed in: "Poor horse was obviously scared."
A third commented: "Hope it’s not hurt after hitting that car and that driver is ok too."
