LAKE VIEW TERRACE (CBSLA) — A girl has died after a horse she and her sister were riding fell on them. The girls, ages 12 and 4, were riding Tuesday night as their mother was guiding the horse at the Lake View Terrace Recreation Center, 11075 Foothill Blvd. For whatever reason, the horse bucked and fell backward on the girls, who lost the reins. The 12-year-old was gravely injured and later pronounced dead at a hospital. The 4-year-old girl was listed in critical condition, with what doctors believe is a collapsed lung. Horse riding is common throughout the Lake View Terrace area, and neighbors were shocked by the tragic accident. “This is a ranch neighborhood, Lake View Terrace, you know, and a lot of people ride their horses up and down the streets, on the trails and stuff,” resident Rey Zapata said.
