A 27-year-old Spanish man died after a fighting bull gored him in the neck at the Pamplona bull- running festival that was made famous by Ernest Hemingway and attracts thousands of foreigners each year.

Pamplona officials identified the man as Daniel Jimeno Romero, 27, from Alcala de Henares, outside Madrid. He was on vacation with his parents and girlfriend, who identified him.

The San Fermin festival Web site said Jimeno Romero was gored in the neck and lung during a run in which a rogue bull named Capuchino separated from the pack. Isolated bulls are more likely to get disoriented and start charging at people.

Photographs showed Jimeno Romero lying on a stretcher moments after the goring, his face and neck stained with blood and his eyes only half-open.

Three other people were gored, and six people suffered bumps, bruises and other lesser injuries.

Among the injured was a 61-year-old American who was struck in the chest and had internal bleeding in his lungs. Doctors said he was in intensive care but that his condition was not considered life-threatening.

Also injured in the run was a 20-year-old from London, and a 24-year-old Argentine. Another American, a 63-year-old identified by the initials K.L., injured an elbow.

Each morning for a week, thousands of thrill-seekers dressed in traditional red and white clothes cram into a cobbled, winding road in the center of the northern Spanish city, as six half-ton fighting bulls are released behind them. The animals race through the streets and into the bull ring, where they face a bullfighter in the evening.

Excluding today’s death, fifteen people have been killed in the bull running since 1910, according to the official Web site of the festival. The event was made famous by Hemingway’s 1920s novel “The Sun Also Rises,” and is now popular with tourists from countries including the U.S. and Australia.
