Bison gores woman after boyfriend takes her on date to same place he was attacked

A bison gored a woman on a romantic date after her boyfriend took her to the same spot he was attacked by one.

Kyler Bourgeous took Kayleigh Davis to a state park in Utah, US, to watch the sunset.

But as 22-year-old Kayleigh ran a little further ahead, she came face to face with a bison.

She was charged at and flipped into the air, leaving her with a broken ankle and a leg wound.

Kyler had been attacked by a bison back in June and suffered a collapsed lung and cracked rib.

Kayleigh was airlifted to hospital after the incident.

According to the BBC witnesses reported seeing a bison strike Ms Davies with its head and "lifting her off the ground".

Kayleigh told the BBC: "I wasn't comfortable standing at the mile marker waiting for him, and I didn't know how comfortable he would be seeing [the bison] too, so I turned back and passed the bison again, giving it as much space as possible."

As she walked past a group of cyclist came down the hill and she thinks the "spooked" the animal.

She added: "I looked over my shoulder, seeing it get closer - and I looked again and it was pretty much right behind me. Right as I saw it, I flew up in the air 15ft."

Ms Davis said she has been having nightmares about the attack in the days since, but feels "pretty happy and positive" and wants to get outside again soon.
