A 71-year-old Woman from West Chester, Pennsylvania, was gored by a bull Bison near Storm Point at Yellowstone Lake on Wednesday, June 29.

The woman and her daughter inadvertently approached the bison as they were returning to their vehicle at the trailhead, causing the bull bison to charge. The woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries after the encounter and was transported by ambulance to West Park Hospital in Cody, Wyoming.

This incident remains under investigation, and there is no additional information to share.

This is the third reported bison and visitor incident in 2022. On May 30, a woman approached a bison near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, and a man approached a bison near a boardwalk at Giant Geyser on June 28.
