Lynda Perry, the Clinton veterinarian whose horse died last summer after being struck by a car, will be testifying Feb. 22 in favor of a new state bill that will demand harsher punishment for those "causing harm to a vulnerable user of a public way."
Perry and Trapper, her 15-year old Lippitt Morgan horse, were both struck by a Dodge Durango last July driven by 17-year old Robert Lee of Clinton. Perry sustained injuries and survived; her horse did not.
Lee received a verbal warning by the Clinton Police Department. He claimed he was blinded by the sun and did not see Perry and her horse.
