A pair of feral horses were killed by a semi Friday morning on highway 97 north of Penticton.

The incident happened at around 7 a.m. near the Redwing housing complex.

According to West Bench resident Theresa Nolet, the horses “came down from the hills owned by the Penticton Indian Band.”

“I see them on and around the highway quite often,” she said.

“It’s really unsafe.”

Castanet warned motorists and we talked to the RCMP about the danger in this story from last week.
