HOSCHTON - Jackson County authorities say a man was killed in a bizarre accident in Hoschton Friday night.
According to Steve Nichols, the director of Jackson County EMS, the man was gored to death by a bull grazing on his property on Highway 332. He said emergency responders arrived at the scene just after 8 p.m.
"They kept the bull at bay until the first responders could remove the victim from the field," said Nichols.
Nichols said the victim owned the property and he owned the animal. He did not know what prompted the animal to attack. The bull was not euthanized; family members will decide what to do with the animal, according to Nichols.
Nichols was unable to release the victim's identity because of HIPPA regulations.
