Creswell; victim treated, released
CRESWELL — A male
black bear injured a man
after encountering him
and his dog in an incident
that happened Sunday on
private industrial timber-
land west of Creswell, Ore.
The incident happened
at about 12:20 p.m. May
10 about five miles west
of Creswell near Camas
Swale Road, which is in a
semi-rural area with a mix
of rural residential and pri-
vate timberland properties
in Lane County.
The 72-year-old man
was able to walk home af-
ter the incident and seek
medical attention. He was
treated and released from
the hospital Monday.
According to an Oregon
State Police interview with
the victim, he and his dog
had hiked from his proper-
ty to the adjoining timber
company property. While
walking a forest road, they
encountered a bear in the
road only 20 feet away.
The dog barked and
ran at the bear. The bear
knocked the dog down and
was on the dog when the
victim approached yelling
and waving his arms in
an attempt scare the bear
from the dog.
The bear turned from
the dog and redirected to
the victim.
The
bear
charged,
knocking the man to the
ground. The man fought
back and after a short time,
the bear left. The man and
dog, both injured, hiked
approximately one mile
back to his residence be-
fore being transported to
receive medical care.
The man suffered lac-
erations and punctures
on his forearm as well as
lacerations to his torso
and head. He was released
from the hospital yesterday
after receiving treatment
for his wounds.
His dog was treated by a
veterinarian.
Both the man and his
dog are expected to fully
recover.
The man described the
bear as mature, black in
color with a “cream” col-
ored muzzle. He did not
see any other bears at the
had previously self-iden-
tified on social media as
having the virus.
The Sentinel would like
to clarify that the “Dana”
in our reporting is not the
same person and that the
name is completely coinci-
dental.
Our apologies for any
confusion or distress this
may have caused for the
real Dana, her family or
friends. We also want to
express our appreciation
to her for contacting us for
the clarification.
