It appears that, at the time of the incident, there was just one bull inside the ring.
A large crowd of people look on from the stands.
Caballero runs straight for the bull, diving towards it in an attempt to fly over its head.
He takes a strong blow from the animal’s head, as the bull strikes him and darts off.
The chants of encouragement from the crowd suddenly turn to screams.

One man, holding a yellow flag, can be seen throwing his flag to the side and making a dash to get himself out of the dangerous situation.
Other people come rushing from the side of the ring to drag the Caballero’s body off the field.
Seconds later, they quickly drop him and run out of view, as the bull appears to make its way over to them.
The victim is later picked up again and carried away, while other participants continue to fight the bull.
The tragic incident occurred on 12 November, in San Martín de Loba, Bolivar, Columbia, as reported by Need To Know.
Local press report that Caballero, who hailed from Mahates, Bolivar and often performed as a flag bearer, died instantly upon impact.
