Víctor Barrio was in the ring with a massive bull in the town of Teruel in Aragon, in eastern Spain, when tragedy struck, according to La Razon.es.
The 29-year-old matador was caught in his side as the bull rolled over him and pinned him to the ground.
Pictures of the tragedy show the bullfighter lying in the dirt in front of the animal before being carried out of the ring by other matadors.

The deadly goring occurred about 1 a.m. during festivities involving female cattle in the small village of Pedreguera.

On Friday, a total of 16 thrill-seekers, including 5 Americans, were injured in the running.
Two of the people gored were in critical condition, officials said.
Barrio was an award-winning professional bullfighter and was named the winner of the San Isidro bullfights by the Senior Club of Madrid in 2011.

The nine-day San Fermin fiesta became famous with Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel “The Sun Also Rises” and attracts thousands of foreign tourists each year.
