HIGHWAY chiefs are being urged to halt the “carnage” occurring in the New Forest after an horrific accident in which four ponies were killed. The collision - one of the worst animal accidents in the Forest for several years - happened on a notorious stretch of Roger Penny Way near Bramshaw. The ponies are thought to have been licking freshly-laid salt on the road when they were hit by a Land Rover Discovery. Two other accidents have occurred on Roger Penny Way in the past few weeks. Three donkeys were killed on December 13 and two sheep died in a hit-and-run on December 28.
