Santa will have to rent a donkey to help him this Christmas after one of his animals met a tragic end.
The creature - made of polystyrene - was decapitated after making contact with live cables as Santa drove along a road cordoned off after an accident.
The earlier crash - at Tadcaster, North Yorkshire - had left the wires exposed.
Emergency crews were amazed when a man dressed as Santa, towing a nativity scene on a trailer, ignored the closure and his plastic donkey touched a cable.
In the original accident, a woman's car hit an electricity pole, bringing down the wires.
Fire crews said both Santa and the woman had lucky escapes.
