Stampeding cows trample woman on treasure hunt

From Lincoln, England:

A woman is in intensive care after she was trampled by a herd of cows during a hi-tech geocaching treasure hunt.
Nurse Sarah Leonard, 59, suffered severe injuries in the incident, including broken arms, a broken collarbone, broken jaw and several broken ribs.
​Despite her injuries, Miss Leonard managed to dial 999 herself. But because she couldn't give her exact location, it took emergency services half an hour to rush to her aid. It happened in a field off Church Lane at North Scarle, eight miles from Lincoln city center... Miss Leonard, from Norton near Sheffield, was with her dog Megs when the drama unfolded at 3.25pm on Saturday, November 16.
Geocaching involves hiding a small waterproof box containing a logbook and a pen, recording its co-ordinates and logging its location on a website. Another cacher will see the listing, enter the co-ordinates into their GPS receiver and go in search of it. The Geocaching Association of Great Britain's (GAGB) code of conduct simply states: "Respect property rights and seek permission where appropriate."

Man loses arm in fortune cookie factory

Talk about bad luck:

A 55-year-old man’s left arm was severed in an industrial accident at a Seattle fortune cookie company this afternoon after he became stuck in a machine up to his chest, said Kyle Moore, a spokesman for the Seattle Fire Department.

Medics arrived at the Tsue Chong Co. at 800 S. Weller St., in Seattle’s Chinatown International District, within three minutes of receiving a 911 call at 12:15 p.m., Moore said...

Firefighters were able to quickly free him and transported the man to Harborview Medical Center along with his severed arm, said Moore, who didn’t know whether doctors would be able to reattach the limb.

Woman who didn't like to swim, swept out to sea and drowned when she bent down to pick up glasses on beach

Sounds like it might have been a sneaker wave that took her:

Donna Pawlowski did not like to swim but turbulent surf along a Cape Cod beach Sunday pulled her into the ocean where she drowned.

Pawlowski and Barbara Coons, who live in Rexford [New York] and had a time share on the cape, were walking along Race Point Beach in Provincetown early Sunday morning when Coons dropped her glasses.

"Donna reached down to get them and the waves came in and took her away," Mary Jane Hodge of Colchester, Conn., who is related to Pawlowski through marriage, said by phone Monday evening.

"She did not swim. It was a freak accident."

Cape & Islands First Assistant District Attorney Michael Trudeau said boat, air and ground search crews quickly converged on the scene and Pawlowski's body was found about 35 minutes later on a beach near the Race Point Lighthouse. Trudeau said the death appears accidental.
