In Winsted Connecticut a five ton truck roared through town at 80 mph with four show horses aboard. Kathryn McFaum drove a convertible alongside to warn oncoming traffic. She helped steer past intersections while John McFaum, the driver, fought to control the out of control vehicle. A town patrolman helped halt the danger and no charges were filed. The horses valued at over 15900 dollars were calm, while the two helpers were shaken. The couple sat on a curb for 20 minutes before the driver resumed his Lakeville Horse Show trip.
