Croatian farmer killed by falling cow Tue Jul 26, 2005 10:59 AM BST
ZAGREB (Reuters) - A Croatian farmer was killed when a cow he was about to milk fell and crushed him, local media reported on Tuesday.
The unfortunate 61-year-old farmer, from the village of Cadjavacki Lug in central Croatia, went into the stable where his family keeps nine cows, as he had every morning for the past 20 years, the Vecernji List newspaper reported.
"I think he slipped, grabbed the milking machine and knocked it over. That must have frightened the cow, which slipped and fell on top of him," his distraught daughter-in-law, who was in the stable with him, told the daily.
"It took me and the rest of the family almost three minutes to get the cow off him."
She said the cow, named Lara, had been very meek and that even children could milk her without fear. The newspaper did not say what had become of the cow.

"I think he slipped, grabbed the milking machine and knocked it over. That must have frightened the cow... Maybe that wasn't what he grabbed.

I once heard about a guy getting crushed by a Jersey barrier but this is about the same thing.
