Bear hunters are tracking a large black bear near Snowmass Village, Colo., after it crashed into the tent of a local woman and rolled her around, the Aspen Daily News reported Wednesday.

The hunters will kill the bear if they are able to track it, according to the Colorado Division of Wildlife.

"This bear, because it did injure a person, if we are able to track it down, it will be destroyed in accordance with (Division of Wildlife) policy," Todd Malmsbury of the DOW told the Daily News.

Emily Casebeer, 19, said she was sleeping alone in a tent at the Snowmass Creek trailhead Sunday when the bear entered her tent and started rolling her around. She was not seriously injured and quickly made her way to her vehicle and drove home.

A subsequent examination revealed a small wound on her leg and some bruising. When she returned to her tent, it had been destroyed.

Malmsbury said the encounter it is the first incident of its kind in Colorado this year.

Casebeer did not appear to have any food in her tent at the time of the incident, according to Malmsbury. He said there are 10,000 to 12,000 black bears in Colorado at the current time.
