JERUSALEM - An Israeli horse took to the highway and trampled an oncoming car in an encounter captured on video by a group of tourists in northern Israel.

The tourists began filming when three horses came on the highway and began to canter alongside their car, but the scene took a bizarre turn when an oncoming car came on the scene.
