A 47-year-old grandmother at Lincoln Park Zoo in Manitowoc, Wis., ignored the signs posted in front of the bear cage that prohibit feeding the animal Friday morning, police said, and was bitten by the creature. Authorities say she lost a thumb and a forefinger in the accident, and her middle and ring fingers were partially severed.

The black bear bit her boyfriend as he tried to free her, but he only suffered minor injuries. The woman and her boyfriend were taken to the hospital and given state-required rabies shots. Her 3-year-old granddaughter was unharmed. The zoo, north of Milwaukee, temporarily closed its doors after the accident. Officials say alcohol was a factor in the accident.

With winter advisories and storm warnings, northeast Wisconsin has seen an extra dose of vehicle wrecks and sport accidents. Several accidents have been reported over the weekend. From small back roads to highways, people have slipped, slid and gotten stuck.

 Drivers should be aware of sharp winds and ice, and those participating in winter sports should take extra caution as the weather is especially severe. Road conditions are dangerous, and drivers should use caution while driving safely. Even in areas with not much snow, ice can still cover the road. This is often unnoticeable until it's too late.
