Spanish bull running – three gored to death within 24 hours

Bull running is an outdoor sort that people in Spain indulge in and deaths due to being gored by bulls is a common feature. This year, three men died within 24-hurs and this brings the number of deaths this year to 7.
This has been reported in daiymail.co.uk dated 17 August 2015.

A local councilor in Traspinedo, Valladolid, bled to death after he was gored during a run in nearby Penafiel on Saturday morning. It was a tragic accident because he was cornered after he bumped into another man and lost his balance. That made the animal suddenly change track and charge the runners behind it. Another runner did manage to distract the bull by pulling its tail but the damage was already done.
Valladolid Hospital confirmed that the victim had died following an operation on a severed femoral artery and other injuries.
Another death was that of an unnamed 32-year-old from Valencia – this happened in Museros, just north of Valencia on Spain’s east coast. He was, apparently, horned in the back as he tried to reach safety through a gap in metal railings that had been erected around the area where bulls are set free as part of the town’s annual festivities.
He was caught in a bottle-neck of people trying to squeeze through the narrow gap as the bull charged - and tossed up in the air like a rag doll before being dumped on the ground.
The third incident was in the town of Blanca when a lottery seller died in hospital in Murcia 140 miles south after a bull had severed his femoral artery during a packed run.
