BELMORE, Ont. — Ontario Provincial Police say equipment failure caused a horse-drawn buggy crash that injured eight and left a toddler with serious injuries.

Huron County OPP say the accident happened on Sunday afternoon near Belmore.

They say the equipment failure caused the driver to lose control of the buggy, which then overturned the seating compartment and ejected everyone inside.

Police say five people were treated for minor injuries at the scene while three others were taken to hospital.

Two have since been released, while a three-year-old girl suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries.

The horse was injured in the crash and had to be euthanized.
