An 83-year-old woman was seriously injured when she was gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park over the weekend, the park said Monday.
The park said the bison was "defending its space" when it gored the South Carolina woman near the Storm Point Trail, which is located at the north end of Yellowstone Lake. The bison "came within a few feet of the woman and lifted her about a foot off the ground with its horns," the park said.
Emergency staff first took the woman to the nearby Lake Medical Clinic for treatment before she was airlifted to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, Yellowstone said. The park did not have any specific information about her injuries or her condition as of Monday night.
