Texas man trampled to death by rodeo horses
A West Texas rodeo worker has died after horses he was tending turned around and stampeded over him. Justin Bradley's father tells the Plainview Daily Herald that the 24-year-old rancher died Monday, two days after the incident at the Wheeler Ranch Rodeo. Brad Bradley said his son was knocked down and trampled when the horses turned as he was moving them toward a bucking chute Saturday. It was not clear what caused the horses to stampede. A call to the Wheeler County sheriff from The Associated Press was not immediately returned. The younger Bradley suffered a head injury and was taken to an Amarillo hospital, where he remained on life support until Monday for organ donation. Wheeler is about 110 miles northeast of Amarillo.
