A HORSE killed in a road accident was owned by Katie Price.

It strayed with others and was hit by a car on the A24 near Dial Post, Horsham, on Monday night.

The horse smashed through the car's windscreen and died as a result of its injuries, while the driver escaped unscathed.

Former glamour model Ms Price, 39, is heartbroken by the news.

She posted on her Instagram page yesterday: "Last night our friends horses including one of ours escaped from their field and ran onto the road we are devastated.

"We are extremely upset to find out one of our horses was killed last night being hit by a car and don't appreciate that someone was circulating pictures of our horse dead in the road and put on Facebook.

"Thank god the driver of this car was very lucky and escaped and wish him well, police were amazing and so was the local community and thank them all.

"Our friends other four horses thank god are alive with a couple of them injured and are still being treated by the vet and will be ok.

"We are in shock still and reminds me again of the time in Argentina when I was involved in a horrific car accident when the car I was in killed two horses that died in my arms."
