Bulls trapped after trailer trailer overturns
in road
accident near Burnham
A
vehicle towing a trailer with three bulls onboard overturned during
an accident on the A38 at Rooksbridge, near Burnham-On-Sea, on
Monday January 16th.
 The
trailer contained three bulls - one of which escaped before the
fire brigade arrived on scene to release them.
A
fire engine from Burnham-On-Sea, plus a Special Rescue Unit from
Bridgwater and two appliances from Avon Fire Service were called
to the scene shortly after mid-day.
A
brigade spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com that the crews found
both bulls were "extremely distressed" and to aid the
rescue a vet was called to sedate them.
Both
were released by the Brigade but, sadly, one died at the roadside
suffering from stress and internal injuries.
