Woman trampled to death by cows

A WOMAN trampled to death by a herd of cows while walking in the Yorkshire Dales is believed to be from the Warrington area.
The woman – who has not yet been formally identified – was walking with her two dogs along a stretch of the Pennine Way near the hamlet of Gayle, near Hawes.
It is thought the cows were panicked by her two dogs – a brown and white spaniel and a collie-type – who were both on their leads at the time.
North Yorkshire Police say the woman has not yet been formally identified.
The tragedy occurred shortly after noon yesterday (Sunday).
A police spokeswoman said: “She was surrounded by a herd of cattle and calves, and as a result of dogs being present, the cattle reacted in an aggressive manner.”
Last year another dog walker, Sandra Pearce, 45, died in a cattle stampede at South Elmham in Suffolk.
Cows frequently act aggressively when they have young calves with them.
