Jogging Turned Nightmare: Bear Mauls Alaska Mom in Her Own Neighborhood.

Jogging Turned Nightmare: Bear Mauls Alaska Mom in Her Own Neighborhood.

In the USA.

The news as it trends.

Just after dawn in Kenai, Alaska, 36-year-old nurse and mother of three, Ariean Fabrizio Colton, stepped outside for a jog, something she’d likely done countless times before.

But this time, a brown bear was waiting.

The bear attacked her viciously, dragging her nearly 100 yards down the road.

Ariean sustained devastating injuries to her face and scalp, yet miraculously remained conscious until a neighbor discovered her.

She was airlifted to Anchorage and rushed into emergency surgery. Now, she’s fighting to recover.

The attack happened in a residential area, just steps from her home, which makes the incident even more chilling.

Her family has launched a GoFundMe campaign that has already raised over $63,000 to help cover medical and rehabilitation costs.

The community is rallying around her, but the trauma is far from over.

Wildlife officials have not confirmed whether the bear has been located or euthanized.

As shared widely on social media, bear encounters are no longer confined to the wilderness—they’re happening where people live.

Residents are being urged to stay alert and take precautions.

In Alaska, even a morning jog can turn into a fight for survival.
