An elderly man in Britain was trampled to death after he along with his brother and their two dogs were cornered by a herd of cows.
The 66-year-old died of his injuries in the field in Wiltshire county. His brother was airlifted to a hospital in Bristol with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. He is said to be in a stable condition, Daily Express reported Wednesday.
