Bear Reviews Local Traffic Patterns, Finds Them Lacking
A bear delivered what this reporter can only describe as an unsolicited crash-test rating for a parked sedan this week, slamming into the vehicle while her cub scurried across the road behind her, according to video obtained by KHOU.
The footage shows the collision happening in the span of a few seconds, with the cub apparently using the chaos as cover to reach the other side unbothered. No injuries to bear, cub, or vehicle have been confirmed, though the car's alignment has not commented.
This column has covered a great many bears breaking into things this year — garages, fire stations, a bakery booth — but never before a bear breaking a car, which represents, in this reporter's professional opinion, a troubling escalation in scope.
