A Texas teenager was critically injured and later died after he was dragged by a horse while tending to a sick calf in a freak accident Monday.
“Somehow, the man’s leg got tangled, and the horse [dragged] him quite a distance in an open field,” the Lott Volunteer Fire Department told KWTX-TV.
The Falls County Sheriff’s Department confirmed 18-year-old Ace Patton Ashford’s death, writing on Facebook, “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Ace Ashford. Our condolences go out to his family.”
“I love you forever ace Patton,” his girlfriend, Sydney Boatright, wrote on her Facebook along with a photo of the two of them. Ashford’s mother, Jamie Ashford, wrote on her Facebook, “I miss you so much Ace! I love you more!”

Ashford had just graduated from Rosebud-Lott High School in the spring and was preparing to attend Hill College on a rodeo scholarship.
“Ace loved the cowboy way of life and was the true definition of a hard-working country boy,” his obituary said. “Ace loved to rodeo and was known as the ‘Header’ in Team Roping. Ace would dedicate innumerable hours to roping in order to reach his full potential.”
Ashford suffered head injuries and was airlifted to a hospital, where he died, according to KWTX.
“Ace had a heart of gold and was loved by everyone he knew. Ace never met a stranger, and he had an old soul,” the obituary added. “He would stop at nothing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.”

Fellow rodeo header Cody Snow called Ashford “about as pure as they get,” according to the Team Roping Journal.
The father of his high school rodeo partner told the Journal, “From the time I spent with him, he didn’t talk a lot, and he didn’t bother nobody. He’d have rather been out there doctoring yearlings than going to a roping sometimes. He was a good kid. It’s so hard to put into words how he was. At the high school rodeos, he’d be the kid who pushed everybody’s steers.”
Marcus Becerra, who is a rodeo flagger, told the Journal Ashford was “who you want your son to grow up to be. That’s why it hurt quite a bit. Everybody knows how good a kid he was, how cordial he was, how respectful he was. He was good with horses, he had manners and he was a real great kid.
“Flagging, you meet these kids when they’re young, and you get to know them. You see from the time they’re little, and you get to watch them win and you pull for them.”

Brian Terry murder: Border Patrol agent's previously convicted killer's sentence overturned
A man accused of pulling the trigger in the 2010 shooting death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, whose death exposed the botched President Obama-era gun operation known as “Fast and Furious,” has been overturned, a U.S. appeals court said.
The bombshell reversal comes after Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes was convicted of first-degree murder, among other charges, after being extradited from Mexico. He was among seven defendants tried and convicted in the Dec. 14, 2010, killing of Terry.
On Friday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals released its decision to overturn the conviction after Osorio-Arellanes argued his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and his Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel were violated during his trial and subsequent conviction.
“Because Osorio established his Sixth Amendment claim, the panel did not need to reach his Fifth Amendment claim,” the ruling stated. “The panel rejected the Government’s argument that the absence of a Fifth Amendment violation would bar Osorio’s Sixth Amendment claim.”
MAN CONVICTED IN BORDER AGENT BRIAN TERRY’S MURDER BROUGHT ATTENTION TO ‘FAST & FURIOUS’

The doomed “Fast and Furious” operation involved federal agents allowing criminals to buy guns with the intention of tracking them to criminal organizations.
But the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lost track of most of the guns, including two found at the site of Terry’s death.

Terry was part of a four-man team in an elite Border Patrol unit staking out the southern Arizona desert on a mission to find “rip-off” crew members who rob drug smugglers.
They encountered a group and identified themselves as police when trying to arrest them.

The men refused to stop, prompting an agent to fire bean bags at them.
The crew members responded by firing AK-47-type assault rifles. Terry was struck in the back and died shortly afterward.

Dashcam video captured the moment a high-speed crash left a pickup truck in flames at a busy intersection in the San Fernando Valley.
The crash happened at Lassen Street and Sepulveda Boulevard in Mission Hills at around 5:09 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Dashcam video from a bystander showed a white Lexus sedan racing past him and slamming into the dark gray Ford pickup truck that was making a left turn.
The high-speed impact sent both cars spinning out of control and slamming into a traffic signal pole behind them. Flames were immediately ignited underneath the truck.
The truck landed on a nearby sidewalk and the white sedan crashed against a wall just outside of a CVS parking lot.

Both vehicles were totaled as a large amount of auto debris was strewn across the busy intersection.
“I saw on my rearview mirror that [the white sedan] was coming so fast, they’re going to hit somebody,” said Seth Gurlal, whose dashcam captured the collision. “They had no regard for anybody.”
Witnesses said bystanders in the area immediately ran over to help the female driver who was injured and trapped inside the burning truck.
“They pulled out a woman but her feet were stuck,” said Rosa Madrigal, a witness. “They pulled it out, but the moment they did, I saw she was bleeding on the side.”
The woman was transported to the hospital where her condition remains unknown on Saturday night.
It’s unclear whether the suspect driver was also injured as the incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information can call the LAPD at 1-877-527-3247.
Footage of the crash can be seen in the video player above.
