BROOKFIELD - A local teenager made a daring rescue when a man was being mauled by a bear in Grand Teton National Park.
Steven Gray talked to his daughter Wednesday morning and could not believe what happened. Gray said he would not have been that brave, "I give her credit for having enough guts to do that."
Amy Gray, 19, and a friend were able to save a man being attacked by a grizzly bear. The tourist was out walking in the park early Wednesday morning. Amy Gray and her friend just happened to be driving down the trail and noticed the bear eating something.
"She honked the horn," Steven Gray recapped. "She said the bear backed up about 15 or 20 feet off the trail.... her and her friend picked up this guy, he was unconscious, put him in the chuck wagon truck, turned around and went back to the corral. She said she was all full of blood. His back had a piece taken out of it, his rear end, his thigh."
According to her father, Amy Gray was pretty shaken up when he talked to her Wednesday morning. Steven Gray is proud of his daughter, "When she saw this guy, she cared enough that she wanted to go do this. We're real happy that she's OK, and we're also real happy that she did what she did. I just hope the guy comes out of the whole thing OK."
The man attacked by that bear was out for a walk early Wednesday morning when he came across the grizzly and her cubs.
Amy Gray is spending the summer working in Grand Teton National Park. She told her father she was glad to be in the right place at the right time.
