A couple picnicking on the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina survived repeated bear attacks Wednesday evening, according to the National Park Service.

The couple were able to drive themselves to Mission Hospital in Asheville, “where they were treated for their injuries and released,” officials said.
