David Blunkett Gets Run Over By A Cow
Former Home Secretary David Blunkett has suffered a broken rib after he was trampled over by a stampeding cow.
The Daily Telegraph reports the blind Labour MP was enjoying a walk on his 62nd birthday with his 26-year-old son Andrew in the Derbyshire Peak District when an angry herd of cattle charged towards his guide-dog Sadie.
According to The Sun, Mr Blunkett tried desperately to protect his beloved labrador cross but stumbled to the ground as the one-ton cow tumbled over him, striking him in his side.
Mr Blunkett was rushed to a doctor by his fiancée, GP Margaret Wiliams, where he was told that he was lucky to have avoided a punctured lung.
Speaking to The Sun after the incident, Mr Blunkett said it was “a miracle” he wasn’t killed.
I’m sure we all wish him well.
