Grizzly bear attack at Grand Teton National Park leaves man seriously injured
CNN
A second grizzly bear attack has occurred in less than a week – this time, in one of the US National Parks.
A grizzly bear attack on a man in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park is the second grizzly bear attack in less than a week. Park officials said they received a report on Sunday about “a 35-year-old male visitor from Massachusetts who was seriously injured by a bear in the area of the Signal Mountain Summit Road,” the National Park Service said in a news release Monday. Following an investigation, park officials have determined “the incident was a surprise encounter with two grizzly bears.” The earlier bear attack occurred in the Canadian Rockies. The man, who was airlifted by helicopter to a nearby ambulance, is in stable condition, according to the park service, and expected to make a full recovery. With news of the attack still fresh, the park has closed both Signal Mountain Summit Road and Signal Mountain Trail to the general public.
