Woman hurt in grizzly bear attack

A 21-year-old woman needed emergency surgery after being attacked by a grizzly bear about 25 yards from an Alaskan lodge.

Abby Sist, of Utah, was attacked as she returned from a hike to the Kenai Princess Lodge in Cooper Landing late on Wednesday.

Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen said another guest at the lodge saw the bear on top of the woman and ran outside to help. She said the guest scared the bear off.
