Woman killed on Exmoor after cow attack while walking dog

A woman died after being trampled by a herd of cows while walking her dog on Exmoor, an inquest was told.

Rebecca Jane Hitchings, 59, of Woodcombe, near Minehead, in Somerset, was found with severe injuries and she was airlifted to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, but doctors were unable to save her.

Senior Devon, Plymouth and Torbay coroner Philip Spinney said Ms Hitchings suffered blunt trauma that led to haemorrhagic shock. Ms Hitchings, a retired nurse who was born in Exeter, died on 16 October.

The inquest, held in Devon, was adjourned and is expected to be transferred to the Somerset coroner for a full hearing.
