One of the donkeys was hit by an oncoming vehicle, but it escaped unharmed and no people reported any injuries.

Fortunately, Pets World Kent, which is located in front of where the animals were passing, took in the animals.

A spokesman for the company confirmed that they had contacted the owner of the donkeys, who will be collecting them in the next couple of days.
