Bison gores woman in Yellowstone National Park after she gets too close

The woman sustained a puncture wound among other injuries, officials said.

A 25-year-old woman was gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park on Monday morning, officials said.

A bison was walking near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, just north of the Old Faithful geyser

when a tourist approached it, coming within 10 feet.

The wild animal then gored the woman and tossed

her 10 feet into the air, according to a press release from the National Park Service.

The unnamed woman, who was visiting from Grove City, Ohio,

sustained a puncture wound among other injuries, the agency said.

She was transported via ambulance to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls.
