A Kern County woman was severely mauled by a bear in the mountains east of Bakersfield [Walker Basin Rd.]Tuesday morning. Allena Hansen not only survived the attack—she even drove herself to a fire station to get help.
The 57-year-old Twin Oaks woman was immediately air-lifted from the fire station to UCLA Medical Center to be treated for injuries described as serious facial lacerations.
Hansen’s friend August Dunning says he’s really not surprised that she somehow survived the ordeal.
“It didn’t amaze me that much that she got away from a bear attack on her own,” Dunning told Eyewitness News. “But at the same time, I’m sure it was because we have the dogs." [an English mastiff and an Irish wolfhound. They were unhurt.]
