A mountain biker racing at Albert Falls Dam was knocked off his bike when a huge antelope chased after him, lunged in the air, and smashed him to the ground while the biker behind him got it all on film.
The rider, Evan van der Spuy, broke his helmet, suffered a concussion, and was knocked unconscious for almost twenty minutes.
After the attack the antelope ran into the brush and was never seen again.
The video has not only gone viral on YouTube with over 10 million views, but Matt Lauer interviewed Evan on the “Today” show Monday morning.
Within hours the incident was trending on Twitter as #BUCKNORRIS - in reference to the inhuman, unstoppable, and awesome endurance and force of the legendary Chuck Norris.
Evan was riding for Team Jeep South Africa in the Time Freight Express MTB Race at Albert Falls Dam.
18-year-old actress and singer Miranda Cosgrove broke her ankle in a tour bus accident this morning.
According to reports, the tour bus she was riding in crashed into an overturned truck on Interstate 70 near Vandalia Illinois.
Cosgrove was traveling to her next concert venue in Kansas when the accident occurred injuring several people. The bus driver was flown to the hospital and is reported in critical condition.
Cosgrove broke her ankle and was taken to the hospital for treatment and observation and has cancelled her shows in Wichita Kansas and Denver Colorado.
Her rep released a statement saying,
"Miranda Cosgrove's tour bus was involved in an accident early this morning in Illinois on I-70, just outside of Vandalia. There were five passengers on the bus, and Miranda suffered a broken ankle. At this time, we are told everyone will be fine. Because of this, her tour is postponed until further notice. Miranda thanks everyone for their understanding and support."
Miranda's mother was also injured in the accident but is expected to recover. One reporter on the scene said the accident was much worse then she thought saying,
"Miranda's mom was on the bus with her and got really beaten up by the crash. She's expected to fully recover, but it's scary because the driver was hurt, too, and he's in really bad shape because the injury happened close to his heart. This was a life-threatening crash. A piece from the tractor-trailer went straight through the windshield and the driver's arm was sliced all the way through."
A local news channel took the following footage showing the tour bus badly damaged and being towed away.
In addition to her role as Carly Shaw on “iCarly”, the actress has appeared in “The Naked Brothers Band”, “The Wild Stallion”, “Drake & Josh”, “Unfabulous”, and other Nickelodeon shows.
She is currently on the road touring as part of her “Dancing Crazy Summer Tour” and until yesterday was performing with teen sensation Greyson Chance.

He has the most expensive armor plated limo in the world.
He travels with 15 vehicles as part of his motorcade.
President Barack Obama’s limo is the most advance vehicle ever built, with oxygen tanks and secret weapons on-board that are only seen in the movies.
So what brought his limo to a screeching halt today in Ireland?
A speed bump.
Obama was visiting Ireland on Monday and as his motorcade left the Dublin Embassy his top-secret Cadillac Limousine clipped a speed bump causing a screeching sound that brought him to a dead stop.
You can see, and hear, in the video that the car directly ahead of the Presidents was able to clear the obstacle but clearly bottomed out as well.
But when Obama’s vehicle tried to make it over the same bump…… well, we’ll let the video show you what happened.
