Man versus sheep

15/04/2015

Peter Bannan

A 20-YEAR-OLD man was seriously injured after the motorbike he was riding collided with a sheep last week.

About 2.45pm on Friday, the man was mustering a mob of sheep at the Wakool Road, Wakool, when an animal shot out in front of his bike.

The rider suffered a broken right collar bone, a broken right eye socket and numerous abrasions on his legs, torso, back and arms in the collision.

The man was taken to Deniliquin for further treatment.

Investigations continue.
