  "account": "A bull caused significant disruption on a Spanish road after slipping away from a nearby farm and charging at vehicles on the A-390 corridor between Chiclana and Medina Sidonia in the Cadiz region. Social media footage showed the beast running along the highway before confronting a lorry, with audio suggesting the animal struck the truck with considerable force. Another video captured the bull approaching a car, prompting other drivers to reverse or swerve to avoid the charging animal. The incident occurred on October 2, 2025, and prompted a swift response from Guardia Civil officers, who attended to clear the road of traffic. The report noted that the bull most likely fled the farm by breaching a fence. While escaped bulls are rare on Spanish roads, incidents involving large animals causing traffic problems are not unheard of. In December 2025, drivers faced a similar predicament on a road between Moguer and Lucena del Puerto in Huelva, and in 2013, a bull escaped from a traditional bullfighting event and ended up on the A-2 motorway, colliding with several vehicles. The most notable case occurred in October 2023 near Calahorra, La Rioja, when two cattle escaped during transportation to a slaughterhouse, one of which rammed a Guardia Civil vehicle. Similar incidents have also been reported in Asturias in June 2023, with a bull wandering onto the A-63 motorway between Oviedo and La Espina. Such events underscore that while the prospect of a bull charging through Spanish traffic may seem unusual, it is not entirely unprecedented. For those who encounter these situations, the potential danger is very real, as a large animal suddenly appearing on the road can leave drivers with limited time to respond.",
