Christina Hansen confirmed that the 15-year-old horse, named Lady, died at the scene. Lady had recently passed a veterinary exam and will undergo a necropsy at Cornell University to determine the cause of death.
Witness Fousseni Eroune described the scene as shocking and sad, noting that the horse collapsed suddenly after stopping at a light.
Animal rights groups believe that the collapse of Lady highlights the urgency for City Council to pass Ryder's Law, a bill aimed at replacing horse-drawn carriages with electric alternatives.
