Woman 'knocked to the ground and injured' by bison at Yellowstone, two days after national park's reopening
KBZK reports:
"A tourist got too close to a bison at Yellowstone National Park. Again.
On Wednesday, two days into the park's reopening, a woman was "knocked to the ground and injured by a bison in the Old Faithful Upper Geyser Basin after approaching the animal too closely," officials said. Visitors are advised to stay 25 yards away from large animals, including bison.
The woman refused to be transported to a medical facility and the incident remains under investigation, park officials said in a news release. Prior to the Yellowstone's reopening this week, the park had been closed since March 24 amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. "
