Madrid (AFP) - A Spanish man died Sunday after
being gored in the neck while filming a bull run
through the streets of a town in central Spain with
his mobile phone.
"The young man was on the path of a bull run
which he was filming with his mobile phone," said
Jesus Hijosa, mayor of Villaseca de la Sagra,
where the accident occurred.
"A bull surprised him from behind and gored him in
the neck," he told AFP.
Villaseca de la Sagra is one of many towns across
Spain that host annual festivals where crowds of
people run ahead of a herd of bulls.
Another young man was killed during a 2010 bull
run in the town.
One of the most famous bull runs is in Pamplona,
which was immortalised by US author Ernest
Hemingway in his 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises".
The 32-year-old man who died Sunday was from a
neighbouring village and had come with friends to
Villaseca de la Sagra on Saturday for the run, the
mayor said.
"This sends shivers down our spine... we organise
these events as a tradition, so that people can
enjoy them, but these things happen," Hijosa said.
"Bulls are dangerous animals and when there are a
lot of people some don't pay attention... you have
to have your wits about you."
Fifteen people have been killed in bull runs in
Pamplona since 1911, where many foreign tourists
join in the tradition.
