LAS VEGAS (AP) — A southern Nevada rancher whose backers faced down federal agents during a cattle roundup in April now says he’s seen no proof that his cow caused a freeway crash that a Las Vegas schoolteacher blames for her injuries.
Rancher Cliven Bundy said Friday he never saw the carcass of the cow killed in the April 14 crash that led to Danielle Marie Beck’s lawsuit.
He says a photo doesn’t show the Bundy earmark or brand.
Beck’s attorney, Bob Apple, didn’t immediately respond to messages.
Bundy says he misspoke in telling the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the animal was his.
Beck is seeking at least $20,000 in damages and medical expenses in a civil lawsuit filed Sunday in Nevada state court.
Bundy says he hasn’t been served with the lawsuit yet.
