A man rode a horse through a filling station forecourt in Thames Ditton, Surrey, on Tuesday, as a long line of cars waited for petrol amid a UK fuel delivery crisis.
Gus Lee-Dolphin filmed his antics near his home in the area, before posting the footage to his Instagram. Speaking to Storyful, he said it was his first time riding a horse.
The UK’s Road Haulage Association has said a shortage of truck drivers has meant disruption to supply chains in a number of areas.
UK Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said on Wednesday the fuel situation had “begun to improve” and that the government’s reserve tanker fleet would “be on the road this afternoon to boost deliveries of fuel to forecourts across Britain.”
