An 83-year-old South Carolina woman was airlifted from Yellowstone National Park to a hospital after she was gored by a bison Saturday.

Officials at the Wyoming park didn’t name the victim or disclose her condition. She was near the Storm Point Trail inside Yellowstone when the incident occurred.

The bison got to within a few feet of her and decided to defend its space. The woman was lifted a foot off the ground after being gored, Yellowstone officials said in a release Monday.



The victim had unspecified serious injuries.

Bison are the most common culprits for visitor injuries among the park’s animals, officials said. People are urged to move away if an animal moves close, maintaining a minimum 75-foot distance between them and bison, moose, elk, bighorn sheep, deer and coyotes.

An Arizona woman was gored by a Yellowstone bison last July after the animal charged her while she and a companion were walking away.

For the larger predator animals like wolves and bears, maintaining a minimum distance of 300 feet is the visitor’s responsibility.

Last weekend’s incident is under investigation.
