A Georgia woman was cited for a DUI while riding a horse after she steering the animal into traffic. A Pontiac Bonneville struck the horse injuring two young passengers and the driver.

Heather Darnell, 22, of Mountain City was airlifted to the Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, Ga and the horse reportedly survived the incident. Ancella Gragg, 32, a 13-year-old girl and 9-year-old boy were all treated at Mountain Lakes Medical Center in Clayton, Ga.

Trooper Anthony Coleman said the woman was charged with a DUI because she was on a public road. She was also cited for entering a traffic lane.

He said, "If it's on the public right-of-way, you're under the same jurisdiction as if you're in a car."
