SPAIN – GORED FIGHTER RECOVERING

From the Miami Herald:

MADRID- A Spanish bullfighter left intensive care Monday and was recovering satisfactorily in a Madrid hospital after a bull’s horn ripped through his throat, pierced his tongue, smashed his palate and then exited his mouth.

Juan Aparicio, 41, suffered the grotesque goring Friday evening during a bullfight in Madrid’s Las Ventas bullring. The matador lost his balance, fell to the ground and in an instant the 1,168-Pound bull drove his right horn through Aparicio’s throat and out his mouth. The beast withdrew the horn rapidly and Aparico managed to run to side of the ring for help.
