AN INVESTIGATION has been launched after a horse owned by an Ardsley woman was electrocuted by a damaged cable while being ridden on Station Lane.
Tina Brown was on 11-year-old Merlin when he leaped forward, collapsed and fell to the ground screaming.
People who came to help realised he had been electrocuted when they tried to remove his bridle and received shocks off it.
It is thought a damaged cable had made part of the road live. The Health and Safety Executive is investigating.
Leeds City Council said highways improvement work had been taking place in the area and said they were looking into what happened as a matter of urgency.
