"Woman trampled by cows at North Yorkshire farm"

Spotted by JuliaM at the BBC:

A woman was seriously injured when she was trampled by a herd of cattle as she walked her dog in North Yorkshire.

The 48-year-old woman suffered broken ribs and a collapsed lung in the incident at the entrance to Dry Close Farm, Redmire, near Leyburn, on Sunday. A police spokesman said: "She'd managed to drag herself on to a cattle grid to get out of the way of the cows."

She was taken by air ambulance to James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough where her condition was described as stable.

If she had been attacked by horses that would be quite funny. But she wasn't so it's not.

R, apparently the food in that hospital is awful and she is expected to shed some weight.

These people just will get in the way of the cows, won't they?
