Fatal Mule Accident Claims Life

COLUMBIA, Tenn. -- A man preparing to take part in the Mule Days celebration in Maury County over the weekend was involved in a fatal accident with his mule.

Carter’s daughter told the paper that her dad was trying to climb on the animal’s saddle at Maury County Park, but the mule reared up and threw him off.
