MELVILLE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- Some drivers had to hold their horses Wednesday on the Northern State Parkway.
State police blocked traffic while good Samaritans tried to get a couple of horses off the road. They lured them with rice cakes, eventually managing to get them to safety.
The Northern State Parkway is not a racetrack! These two didn't get the memo.
