The cowboy who lassoed a runaway cow on I-75 in May is in the hospital recovering from a severe accident.
Ricky Littlejohn told Local 4 he was run over by a loose truck while loading up horses at a rodeo in Pennsylvania.
Littlejohn broke his spine in multiple places and is recovering in the hospital.
A GoFundMe has been launched to help with his expenses and living costs, as he said it’ll be six months before he can get back on a horse.
Littlejohn, who wrangles loose cattle for a living, became famous after catching a cow on I-75 in Oakland County.
The cow’s owner has been sharing the GoFundMe, wanting to give back to the cowboy who saved her cow.
“It would be so detrimental to so many people out there in the future if there was not Ricky out there trying to catch loose cows because, oddly enough, it happens all the time,” the cow’s owner, Melissa Borden, said.
