An American couple have survived unscathed after their minivan was crushed - by a falling cow.
Charles and Linda Everson were driving back to their hotel when Michelle, a 600lb rodeo cow, landed on their bonnet. Amazingly, the beast had fallen 200ft from a cliff.
Chelan County fire chief Arnold Bake said the couple missed being killed by a matter of inches in the accident near Manson in Washington State. The pair, who were visiting the area to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, were taken to hospital but later released.
Unfortunately, Michelle was not so lucky. She had to be put down.
Mr Everson, 49, said he was in shock as he watched the bovine bounce off his battered bonnet.
He told the Detroit Fee Press: "I'm just glad to be alive. It's raining cows out here, man!"
The chauffeur said he saw something hit his vehicle but amazingly kept on driving for a mile before pulling over.
"Wham! It happened so fast I actually thought it was a deer," he told the paper.
"All of a sudden I'm looking at it, and I tell my wife, 'It's a cow,'" he said.
"I kept saying, 'I don't believe it.' I must have said that 20 or 30 times."
Chelan County Sheriff's Sergeant Mike Harris said the animal was a Professional Bull Rider-registered cow that had escaped its ranch about a month ago.
"It was bred for rodeo," Sgt Harris told the paper. "It was not your normal cow in a field."
