(June 22, 2008)—Rita Henning, 56, of Penelope died Saturday night when her car hit a bull that was standing in the middle of FM 2311 north of Axtell, the Department of Public Safety said Sunday.
The force of the collision threw the bull onto the windshield and roof of Henning’s 2003 Ford Taurus, which veered off the road and struck a 1987 Chrysler New Yorker that was parked on the shoulder.
McLennan County Justice of the Peace Belinda Summers pronounced Henning dead at the scene.

My prayes to the family. She died too young in my mind. It does happen on farm roads. I always try to notify someone when I see an animal out. You can call 911. They will send the right person out. There are good ranchers and bad ranchers and sometimes there are just accidents. I don't have a clue as to where this falls, but blessings to the family.

Of course livestock gets the right of way, whether its written law or not, they are big, heavy and do not give way when hit by a car or a truck. I am not sure what the law is on numbered farm to market roads, but on state highways, the livestock owner is responsible for any accidents caused by livestock being in the road.
