Man goes flying after loose bull charges him on the highway
Just before 2 PM today a large bull was seen loose on Highway 90 approximately about a one and a half miles east of the Uvalde City Limits. The bull was spotted by the Uvalde Hesperian walking west in the east bound bar ditch as two trucks followed the bull. After a few minutes of one of the drivers attempting to block the path of the bull, the bull was seen entering the highway slowing down traffic. A few minutes later the DPS patrol car arrived on the scene.
According to Sheriff Rubin Nolasco, he said he was told the bull escaped from the Regal Meat Market.
A driver who contacted the Uvalde Hesperian said she the bull charge a man who was standing on the highway trying to warn approaching vehicles about the bull.
“When we pulled up we saw a cop car and pedestrian truck pulled into the middle lane and traffic was stopped. We then saw the bull coming across the highway, the man was behind his truck and was running to the other side of the highway to warn oncoming cars while waving his arms. The bull noticed him and ran into him. It made him fly from the back corner of his truck to the front and he was knocked out. The bull then took off into a field,” the driver said.
About an hour later, Uvalde Police dispatch stated the bull had successfully been contained.
The condition of the man struck by the bull is currently unknown.
