A bride who was thrown from the horse and carriage which was transporting her to her wedding ceremony has finally married her fiancé.

29 year old Sophie Clarke was saved from serious injury by her Father who pushed her from the carriage when the horse pulling it bolted after becoming spooked by heavy traffic in Evesham.

Friends and family said that Sophie was ‘lucky to be alive’ after the out of control horse dashed towards a level crossing and straight into the path of an oncoming lorry.

Poor Sophie was then forced to spend the remained of the day at Worcestershire Royal Hospital receiving treatment for a head injury. She was discharged but was readmitted two days later with complications.

Sophie went on to make complete recovery although the wedding had to be rescheduled for the New Year.

Now Sophie has finally wed her intended 36 year old Karl woods recently, but his time the blushing bride chose to arrive at the ceremony at St Leonard’s Church in Bretforton by car.

The life of bride Sophie Clarke was suddenly in grave danger during the journey to her wedding when the horse pulling the carriage that she was in went completely out of control after becoming panicked by traffic.

29 year old Sophie’s life was saved when her Father pushed her from the carriage seconds before the terrified horse bolted in traffic in the bride’s hometown of Blackminster, Evesham.

Sophie spent what should have been the happiest day of her life in a local hospital and her Mother who had said that her daughter was lucky to be alive, confirmed that she became poorly again the day after and was readmitted to hospital.

The devastated bride had been on her way to wed her beau Karl Woods, aged 36 at their local church when the incident took place.

Instead of going to her wedding, poor Sophie spent the day in hospital in a neck collar whilst receiving treatment for a minor head injury.

Fortunately her Father was unhurt in the accident and Sophie looks to be on the mend. The wedding has been rescheduled for the New Year.
