A second visitor has been impaled by a bison in Yellowstone National Park in just three days.
Officials say a 71-year-old woman from West Chester, Pennsylvania, was attacked Wednesday by a bull bison near Storm Point near Yellowstone Lake.
The incident happened when the woman and her daughter accidentally approached the bison as they returned to their vehicle, which was parked at a trailhead.
She sustained a non-life-threatening injury and was taken to a hospital in Cody, Wyoming for treatment.
“The woman and her daughter accidentally approached the bison as they returned to their vehicle at the trailhead, causing the bull to attack bison,” the National Park Service said.
“The woman was transported by ambulance to West Park Hospital in Cody, Wyoming.”
It is the third reported attack by bison in Yellowstone National Park this year and occurred two days after a bison stabbed a 34-year-old Colorado man on Monday.
On Wednesday, June 22, 2022, in Yellowstone National Park, a bison is seen walking along a road in Wyoming’s Hayden Valley.

That animal attacked the man as he entered to help two adults and a child, whose video showed the bison targeting.
The man was able to grab the child from the animal before he was knocked to the ground and suffered an arm injury that required hospital treatment.
On May 30, a woman was attacked after approaching a bison at Black Sand Basin.
Park officials say visitors should keep more than 25 meters away from all large animals and at least 100 meters from bears and wolves. Despite their size, bison can run three times faster than humans, animal experts say.
