Man is gored to death at bull run
11:12am Friday 10th July 2009 in
A man, reported to be British, has been gored to death during the running of the bulls in Pamplona, the first such fatality since 1995.
Spanish National Television said the unidentified man was gored in the neck during a run that was messy and dangerous because of a rogue bull that separated from the pack.
Fernando Boneta, emergency room chief at Navarra Hospital, said three other people were also gored, and six others suffered bumps, bruises and other lesser injuries.
The last fatal goring at the running of the bulls claimed the life of 22-year-old American Matthew Tassio in 1995.
