A 47-year-old Arizona woman was seriously hurt Monday morning when a bison charged and gored her while walking near Lake Yellowstone in Yellowstone National Park, the National Park Service reports.
The woman was life-flighted to Eastern Idaho Medical Center in Idaho Falls after suffering “significant injuries to her chest and abdomen,” the NPS reports. ... The Park Service as of early Monday afternoon hadn’t released the woman’s name or hometown.
Not Known If Attack Was Provoked
The attack happened near the Lake Lodge cabins on the north shore of Lake Yellowstone. The woman was walking with another person in a field in front of the Lake Lodge when they spotted two bison, according to the NPS.
They turned and started to walk away from the bison, but one of the animals charged and gored the woman. It wasn’t reported how close the people got to the bison when it charged.
