LILLOOET — A 72-year-old woman attacked by a grizzly bear in a remote area of British Columbia’s Interior has severe injuries, including a broken neck.
The Conservation Officer Service says it happened Sunday outside of Gold Bridge, about 50 kilometres northwest of Lillooet.
The service says they believe it was a defensive attack by a female grizzly that had at least one cub with her.
“Obviously, a result of the bear batting them around or wrestling with the bear,” said McKenzie.
The service said it responded by helicopter with a three-member predator attack team, along with an emergency-room doctor.
