TOTI’s Lynette Rowe had a lucky escape from serious injury after she was ‘tossed in the air’ by a large cow while on a walk on the corner of Bernadotte Street and Lewis Drive last Wednesday, 17 September.
At the time, she was taking a walk with a friend at about 4.45pm. “It was a lone, black cow with huge horns. To pass it, I clapped my hands for it to move away, instead it turned around and lifted me up with its horns. As I came down, I landed on my feet but also sustained a bump underneath my chin,” she said.
The incident did not dissuade her from her walk, the cow wandered off and she carried on. “However the next time I see a cow, I will head in the opposite direction.”
Lynettte suffered a large bruise on her upper leg and received an anti-tetanus injection.
