A man has died from his injuries in hospital after falling from a bull at a rodeo event in southern Queensland on New Yearâs Eve.
The 25-year-old NSW man was thrown from the animal and then struck by it about 8pm at the New Yearâs Eve Rodeo at Warwick Showgrounds.
âHe was riding the bull, came off and the bull landed on him,â witness Melanie Jai wrote in a Facebook post.
Paramedics treated him at the scene, with revellers told the family fireworks would be delayed due to âa serious arena incidentâ in a post by the Warwick Show and Rodeo Society on Facebook.
The man was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after suffering âserious chest injuriesâ, Queensland Ambulance Service said.
Police said the man later died of his injuries. A report will be prepared for the coroner.
