Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A herd of cows has trampled a man and woman, leaving them with serious injuries. A man in his sixties sustained chest, arm and pelvic injuries, and was airlifted to hospital from a farm near Ledbury, Herefordshire, on Friday, an ambulance spokesman said.
A woman believed to be in her fifties sustained a chest injury and suspected fractured ribs, and was in Hereford County Hospital. In 2009, the former home secretary David Blunkett broke a rib after being trampled by a cow. In January, a fireman on a 999 call was spared jail after cows, startled by his engine's siren, killed a 75-year-old farmer.
