Fenland Animal Rescue volunteers were out in force ensuring the safety of the region’s animals – including lending a hand when a lorry overturned into a field with a number of horses in on the A141 at Rings End.

The charity quickly arrived at the scene and found that luckily, no animals had been trapped under the HGV which had been toppled by the high winds.

A spokesman said: “Our team set to work to ensure the animals were dealt with and secure whilst the emergency services were on scene seeing to the drivers.

“This allowed for a quick and successful rescue for everyone involved and thankfully no-one was hurt.”

Fenland Animal Rescue helped locate the owners of the horses and they were then moved away from the crash site.

“Accidents like this are happening all across the county and we urge people to keep their animals safe and secured throughout the duration of the storm,” added Fenland Animal Rescue.

“Our team remain on call to assist with animals that have fallen victim to the harsh weather and to help other emergency services should animals be involved in any incident.”
