TWO horses died after being hit by a train which left them with horrifying injuries and their 11-year-old owner in despair.
Darryl Ashby said his daughter Samantha was left heartbroken by the incident at about 6.30am on Monday. Two of the family’s horses had escaped through a broken fence belonging to Network Rail onto the railway line near their home at Dearne Hall Road, Barugh Green.
“She’s a really tough little 11-year-old but this has really taken it out of her,” said Darryl, 48.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
