19-year-old has paralysed leg after being gored by bison

A 19-year-old from the UK was left fighting for life after being attacked by a bison in the USA. Amelia Dean, 19, known as Mia, was launched 15ft into the air and was left with a punctured artery in the attack in South Dakota.

Her friend managed to lead the animal away and call for an ambulance. Amelia's parents said: "We are beyond fortunate that our daughter is still breathing, as she should have bled out in two to eight minutes after the severed artery and the ambulance didn’t arrive for 20 minutes.

"It is a miracle that she is alive today. We believe that God put a veil of protection over Mia."
