A 13-year-old boy from Overton County, Tennessee managed to save his granddad from a raging bull by using a family vehicle. 

Last Friday afternoon, Aubrey Presley, 75, was routinely feeding a bull on his son's farm in Livingston, Tennessee when the animal became enraged and nearly trampled him to death.  "I'd already made up in my mind that I wasn't going to make it," said Presley. Presley believes he owes his life to his grandson.

The seventh-grader saw what was happening and used his father's truck to stop the attack. "I was driving right through here and hit the bull, turned and was driving him," said Cole Presley. The only reason Cole Presley was home that day was because his school was out because of sickness.

Cole's grandpa has six broken ribs and lots of bruises. "I think the good Lord was with him and me too. He just wasn’t ready for me to go," said Aubrey Presley. Cole Presley said he believes the bull went crazy because it had been raised as a pet.

Since the teen is under 16 years old, he's not allowed to officially drive, but his parents said his chores sometimes involve driving the truck and hauling farm items.
