Alaska Jogger Seriously Injured After Bear Drags Her 100 Yards

A 36-year-old woman in Kenai, Alaska, suffered serious injuries after a brown bear attacked her near her home as she went out for an early morning jog. The bear dragged her approximately 100 yards down the road onto a neighbor's property before the neighbor found her and alerted authorities. The woman was airlifted to a hospital in Anchorage for treatment. Despite extensive searches by Alaska Wildlife Troopers, Fish and Game personnel, and local police using foot patrols and drones, the bear has not been located. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant, supervise children and pets closely, and secure outdoor attractants such as trash and pet food. They also advised the public to keep a safe distance if they encounter a bear and to be on high alert in the neighborhood following the attack.
