A New Jersey resident is on the mend after a shocking end to his visit to Wyoming.
At Yellowstone National Park June 10, a 30-year-old man from Randolph, New Jersey, sustained minor injuries after being gored by a bison, when a large visiting group got a little too close to the animal, according to the park’s website.
Park officials said in a news release that the bison charged at the man at around 9:45 a.m. local time in the Old Faithful geyser area of the park. Yellowstone officials are still investigating the severity of the man’s injuries and the incident itself, although they reported he had been “treated and transported by emergency personnel.”
This is the fifth bison-related incident to occur in the national park since 2023, according to Yellowstone. The latest bison blitz follows another situation that occurred this spring in the Lake Village area of the park, when a 47-year-old Florida resident was similarly struck by the animal’s horns.
