An Australian man is fighting for life in hospital after a bull-riding accident in the U-S.

Bradie Gray suffered critical injuries when a bull threw him and stepped on his chest at a rodeo in the state of Wyoming.

His coach says he was able to stand up, before being pulled to safety.

The 20-year-old, from Hallsville near Tamworth, has now been placed in a medically-induced coma.

He had been studying at a college in Texas, while building up his rodeo career.
