"On a sloping stretch of the route, the driver realized the braking power was insufficient and attempted to steer his three-horse carriage toward flatter ground to slow down," said a police statement.



One of the horses fell and the driver lost control of the carriage which hit a tree ejecting some passengers from the vehicle, it added. Police said they had launched an investigation.
