Google Maps: Rider suffers embarrassing blunder after Street View scare – what happened?

Google Maps is a great tool for navigating your way across the globe. It is also increasingly being used by viewers to uncover some bizarre moments you might not expect.

That is until she is no longer on its back anymore.

The unfortunate rider can be seen, first slanting to the right as though she is losing her balance before completely tumbling from the animal.

In a final scene, the horse can be seen some distance away in the field.

Its rider, on the other hand, is left face-down in the mud and grass.

So, what could have caused such a dramatic moment?

Judging by the horse’s sudden change in behaviour, it seems it received a fright, and given that the road was largely quiet except for the horse and Google’s car, it seems Google Maps could be to blame.

Luckily, another Reddit user points out that the driver may have felt some level of responsibility.

“You can see the driver got out of his car to help the person, what a guy,” the commenter writes.

Sure enough, as the user clicks forward some more, a man dressed all in black ca be seen between the hay bales helping the rider and her horse.

Judging by the rider’s appearance, it seems they were left with nothing more than some red cheeks.
