The report said the bear ran in front of the car and the right front wheel ran
over the bear breaking its back. Speed was said to not be a factor. A bear can
run 30 to 35 miles per hour so collisions are possible. /jim

How on earth could a car get on top of a grizzly? Surely a responsibly
driven car would have been driving slowly enough to avoid the wildlife
in the Park?
OM content: at least some of my Zuikos have been there...
