Third person gored by bison in Yellowstone National Park

Just a day after a man from Colorado was gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park, a 71-year-old woman from Pennsylvania was gored by a bison, marking the third encounter of this type this season.

The woman, from West Chester, Penn., was gored by a bull bison near Storm Point at Yellowstone Lake on Wednesday. She received non-life-threatening injuries after the incident and was transported via ambulance to the the West Park Hospital in Cody, Wyoming.

The woman and her daughter inadvertently approached the bison, park officials said, as they returned to their vehicle at a trailhead. The bull bison charged.

This is the third incident this year. The first occurred on May 30 when a woman approached a bison near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin. On Tuesday, a man approached a bison near a boardwalk at Giant Geyser.
