DENVER (KDVR) — In a startling turn of events in Boulder County, a woman found herself hospitalized following an encounter with a moose, as reported by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW).

The incident unfolded around 1 p.m. on Thursday, when CPW received an alarming call about a moose attack near Jamestown. The woman was reportedly taking a walk with her dog, who was off-leash, not far from her home when a young bull moose charged at her.

In a frightening encounter, the moose knocked the woman to the ground and trampled her repeatedly. She sustained injuries to her head and back and was subsequently transported to a hospital for medical attention.
