The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

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.
