June 22, 2020 A bad leg injury plus others in different parts of the body. It is the epilogue of a close encounter that a 59-year-old man and his 28-year-old son had tonight with a bear with whom they suddenly came across a path of Monte Peller, in Torosi. The episode, on which the foresters are shedding light, occurred after 6pm.

From a first reconstruction of the facts, the young man was advancing along a path, followed a short distance from his father, when he found himself face to face with the bear. Dropped to the ground, he was surmounted by the animal and at that point the father's reaction was to hurl himself against the plantigrade, sustaining the fracture of a leg in several places, informs the Province of Trento.

Now the two are hospitalized where they were joined by the provincial councilor Giulia Zanotelli and by the forest rangers who also inspected the scene of the
episode to collect the elements necessary to accurately reconstruct the dynamics.
