CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) - Police say a zebra was killed when a number of the animals broke out of the grounds of an Arizona festival and were wandering on a nearby road.

Chandler police Sgt. Daniel Mejia says the SUV driver was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.



The Ostrich Festival, which will be held this weekend, attracts hundreds of thousands of people. Activities include ostrich races and ostrich-themed activities and a parade.
