A video taken early Tuesday morning shows a lone horse galloping along the Interstate 95 Highway in Philadelphia, the New York Post reported.
The outlet tweeted out the video, which appears to show a horse with a bridle galloping along a major highway in Pennsylvania during the early morning hours. A whole series of cars can be seen in motion on the opposite side of the barrier where the horse is galloping. The hooves of the horse could be heard emitting a click-click sound in the video as they hit the pavement of the road.

The horse appears to have escaped from Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching children how to ride horses, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. “I have no idea how he got loose,” one man reportedly sporting a light blue sweatshirt from the club told reporters as he loaded the animal into a trailer. The man said that the horse would be okay, according to the outlet.
