On April 12, a triumphant Cliven Bundy and his supporters chased away federal authorities and set the rancher’s impounded cattle free once more to roam public land in northeast Clark County.
Two days later, a car collided with one of Bundy’s cows on Interstate 15, about 10 miles from his Bunkerville ranch, killing the animal and sending the vehicle careening down an embankment.
Now a Las Vegas woman injured in the crash is suing Bundy for negligence.
The lawsuit filed Sunday in Clark County District Court alleges Bundy “recklessly, carelessly and negligently allowed his cows to enter onto Interstate 15 through an area where he had no grazing or other rights.”
Danielle Beck is seeking at least $20,000 for medical expenses, lost income and other damages.
“She’s lucky she lived,” said Bob Apple, Beck’s Las Vegas lawyer. “I’ve been practicing since 1975, and I’ve never seen someone with so many broken ribs.”

you got that right,i hit a cow in texas with a 18 wheeler i had to pay for the cow and to fix my truck.
Or sue the cow...
Cite her for a mooooooooving violation
Exactly. Cows don’t bolt.
What, no call for bans on “assault cows”?
Black cow dark night.
It’ll never get to a jury. If the insurance company is involved, it will get settled out of court, whether Bundy is responsible or not.
“How many ribs did this woman have????????”
Maybe he was talking about the cow’s ribs...
Well I guess. But I think she did it on purpose and PETA needs to be contacted immediately Cows are people too! Wait what am I saying! :)
The fastest they ever move is when the hay wagon is coming and that’s not that fast. Now a wolf or a lion might get them kicked up a notch.
I drive on I15 through Bunkerville all the time. I have NEVER seen a cow on or near the highway. Anyway, there is the usual interstate fencing on both sides. I bet the Fed degenerates planted the cow...and the stupid lady who couldn’t avoid it somehow. There are not trees within many miles of the interstate to block the view...and no vegetation of any sort. It is the Sonoran desert.
Me too, but, I have been told that a promise has been made to reid about what would happen if anything happened to Mr. Bundy.
Politicians are basically greedy cowards.
You've never heard (herd?) of...
Poor cow! Glad it messed up his car.
One is federally funded the other is state hence the distinction and a few different rules. Like I can drive cattle down a highway, but never and interstate.
It's actually the Great Basin Desert, not Sonoran...:^)
Is that the cow the feds dropped on the interstate with a helicopter?
OPEN RANGE are the key words here.
A great amount of Nevada is OPEN RANGE.
The attendees of The Burning Man festival in August every year have found this out the hard way already.
I have Open Range signposts within 3 miles of where I live. They are along U S Hwy 95-A.
