A tragic incident occurred during the Carnival of Toro in Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain, where a 65-year-old man was gored in the chest by a bull late at night. The incident took place just before 1:16 AM when a call was made from the medical team at the event, informing emergency services of the man's death due to the injuries sustained from the goring. The event, known for its culture of bullfighting, attracted many attendees, and the medical staff at the festival had to alert the Civil Guard for judicial procedures following the death.

According to reports, the man did not notice the approaching bull due to a moment of distraction, resulting in a fatal horn strike that pushed him against the barriers set up for the event. The bull involved was one of the creatures owned by Antonio López Gibaja, who participated in the festivities. Incidents like this, while rare, highlight the dangers associated with traditional festivities involving bull runs and bullfighting, which are both a part of cultural heritage and carry inherent risks.

The community in Salamanca, particularly Ciudad Rodrigo, is mourning the loss of a participant at this festive event, which is intended to celebrate their tradition and culture. The incident raises questions about safety measures during such events and the responsibilities of organizers to protect attendees from accidents that can lead to tragic outcomes.
