Driver pulled over after huge bull spotted in passenger seat
Bull at passenger’s seat
The driver, Lee Meyer has driven the vehicle in parades throughout the region for many years. It features a modified design where half of the windshield and roof have been taken out to create space for his bull, known as Howdy Doody, to ride along.
Police in the US state of Nebraska responded to a bizarre emergency call after a bull was seen riding shotgun in the front passenger seat of a car.
Norfolk police captain Chad Reiman said officers quickly located the modified Ford Crown Victoria sedan with the animal riding shotgun along the primary highway as it entered the city of approximately 24,000 individuals on Wednesday morning.
We didn’t have a full understanding of it until we saw it,” Mr Reiman said.
Owner Lee Meyer has driven the vehicle in parades throughout the region for many years. Half of its windshield and roof have been taken out to create space for his Watusi bull, known as Howdy Doody, to join him.
A yellow metal cattle gate functions as a replacement for the passenger side door, enabling Howdy Doody to be securely tied up.
Adding to the unique features, a pair of longhorn’s acts as an ornament on the vehicle’s hood.
“It wouldn’t go far without being noticed for sure,” Mr Reiman added.
Video footage of the traffic stop, recorded by News Channel Nebraska, quickly gained traction online.
During a parade in Burwell last month, a sign fixed to Mr Meyer’s car proudly proclaimed Howdy Doody’s remarkable ride had secured the title of the best car entry in Nebraska’s Big Rodeo Parade. Sky News
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
