The woman, according to authorities, used bear spray on the first grizzly and soon spotted a second bear attacking her husband. "She again used bear spray and both bears ran off," the COS revealed. "Emergency services were called and the man was transported to hospital in Cranbrook by ambulance, where he underwent surgery."

A pair of grizzly bears attacked two cyclists on trails within the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area on the evening of July 26, leaving one man with life-threatening injuries.
