South Africa bread man carts a load of old bull

Port Elizabeth - A South African bread delivery man carted a bull on his pick-up for 15 kilometres through the roads of Eastern Cape province after colliding with the animal and sending it somersaulting through the air onto the roof rack. The collision took place Tuesday in a rural area outside the town of Peddie, which is situated about 50 kilometres west of the coastal city of East London, The Herald newspaper reported. Police told the newspaper they suspected the driver of animal cruelty when he pulled up at the police station in Peddie with his bovine burden. But seeing no rope tethering the animal to the roof rack, they accepted the his explanation that the bull's hoofs became stuck in the rack during its crash landing. The bull waited about five hours to be rescued by a crane but then had to be put down because both its legs were broken, police said.
