Google's Street View van just caused a SHOCKING accident for this unlucky horse rider
JUST when you thought you'd spotted all the hilarious images and unfortunate encounters on Google Street View – this horse comes along.
The Google Street View van terrified the horse, which threw the ridder from its back
If your horse was suddenly scared by a car – took off into a field and threw you from its back, you'd probably rather no-one saw.
Unfortunately for this unlucky man, the car responsible for scaring his horse was the Google Street View van.
And it filmed the entire incident and uploaded it to the internet for everyone to enjoy.
The hilarious encounter took place in Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland.
As the Google van, which has a module fitted with 15 different five-megapixel CMOS sensors with custom low-flare lenses, as well as a fisheye lens fitted on the roof, approached the rider – things took a turn for the worse.
Google's cameras caught the entire unfortunate incident
As the vehicle approaches, the horse gets a little spooked.
The rider can be spotted sliding precariously on the horse's back in one photo – before quickly losing control as the animal bolts into the nearby field.
Google's Street View vehicle appears to stop because the horse-rider goes from lying on his side in the field, watching his trusty steed speeding into the distance, to catching up with him in the distance in the next frame.
Since the rider was able to walk away from the incident, we can only assume they were left unharmed by the mishap.
The news comes as Express.co.uk discovered 5 hidden features and tricks in Google Maps you probably don't know (but should be using).
And Google listed its own website – Google.com – as partially dangerous.
