Bison in Yellowstone National Park have gored a woman and tossed a teenager into the air in the latest run-ins with the massive animals during tourist season.

The National Park Service says a bison gored a 68-year-old woman on Wednesday on a trail near Yellowstone Lake.

She was taken to a hospital, but her condition wasn't immediately known.

On June 23, a bison tossed a 19-year-old off-duty park concession employee who was off trail.

She was treated and released from a hospital for minor injuries.
