A Pennsylvania woman visiting Yellowstone National Park with her daughter was gored by a bison in the second incident of its kind this week and the third in a month, park officials said.

The 71-year-old from West Chester, Pa., whose name the National Park Service has not released, was walking back to her vehicle near Storm Point at Yellowstone Lake on Wednesday when a bull bison charged, according to a news release.

“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 Park Service said on Thursday.The woman suffered “non-life-threatening injuries” and was taken to West Park Hospital in Cody, Wyo.

Earlier in the week, a 34-year-old man from Colorado Springs was gored by a bison at the Old Faithful geyser. The man was walking with his family on a boardwalk near Giant Geyser on Monday when a bull bison charged the group, according to a news release.

“Family members did not leave the area, and the bull bison continued to charge and gored the male,” the Park Service said.

The man suffered an arm injury and was taken to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, the hospital for Yellowstone. The Park Service said the Monday incident involved a visitor who was “too close to the animal.”
