Cyclist hits dead buffalo in suburb

JOHANNESBURG -- Cyclists usually worry about getting hit by vehicles. But one cyclist rode into an unexpected obstacle in Johannesburg's suburbs: a dead buffalo. Andrew McLean said he damaged a ligament on his collarbone and broke his hand when he hit the buffalo carcass riding downhill at up to 37 mph. McLean said he didn't have time to brake before the accident. "I think the buffalo had been running and had died within a couple of minutes of us getting there," McLean said.
