Overview
- The 36-year-old left her Kenai home around 5:45 a.m. on Aug. 26 and was attacked near her driveway roughly 50 yards from her door, officials said.
- Alaska Wildlife Trooper David Lorring said the animal dragged her about 100 yards down the road before a neighbor discovered her.
- She was airlifted to an Anchorage-area hospital with serious injuries, and authorities have not released updates on her condition.
- Alaska Wildlife Troopers, Kenai police and Fish and Game searched on foot and with a drone but did not locate the bear; evidence at the scene suggested a brown bear.
- Residents were urged to stay vigilant, supervise children and pets, and secure attractants as seasonal bear activity remains high on the Kenai Peninsula.
