Flying Bear Kills Two

“I have to say, it’s a first.”
— Const. Martin Fournel discusses the bizarre accident in western Quebec in which a bear was struck by an SUV. While the passengers in the SUV sustained no injuries, “the impact sent the animal airborne into the opposite lane where an oncoming Nissan Pathfinder slammed into it. The bear crashed through the windshield of the vehicle, killing the 25-year-old Ottawa woman in the driver’s seat and the 40-year-old Gatineau man seated behind her.”
