Woman Injured By Bison Just Two Days After Yellowstone Opens
The incident occurred in the Old Faithful Upper Geyser Basin. It's being reported that the woman was knocked down after approaching the animal too closely. This marks the first incident of a park visitor being injured by a bison in 2020.
The park's emergency medical staff responded to the incident. The woman was assessed but refused transport to a medical facility.
A news release from the NPS reports that the incident is still under investigation and that there is no other information available at this time.
