How unlucky unlucky can you be?!

From bbc.co.uk

A Norwegian driver who tried to avoid crashing into a moose hit a bear instead, a wildlife official said.

The accident took place on Wednesday night on a rural road 225km (140 miles) north of Oslo, in Hedmark county.

While the driver escaped uninjured, a search party was tracking the bear after finding traces of blood, local wildlife official Svein Erik Bjorke told the Reuters news agency.

Norway is home to around 100,000 moose and 150 brown bears.

The driver spotted the moose around midnight near Hanestad village and tried to steer around the animal, when a bear suddenly ran in front of his car.

"The driver had lost a bit of speed as she tried to avoid the moose before hitting the bear," Mr Bjorke told Reuters.

"We are currently tracking the bear and we have found traces of blood indicating internal injuries."

The driver's car sustained some damage in the accident. The moose managed to flee the scene unharmed.

Sometimes nature really hates people.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

If there's 100,000 moose and 150 bears I want the moose dead, not the bear.

That's ridiculous, a far more logical answer is that the Moose was trying to eat the Bear.

Very likely... have you SEEN how big they are!

In Alaska.. the drivers don't slow down for anyone ICE or SNOW. However, it's LA traffic jam when you see a Moose near the roads... they're that unpredictable.

I'm not sure if the bear'd have managed to turn that moose into a lunch (at least without getting beaten up pretty badly)... Moose are quite big and can wreck things really badly. They can total a car if they're angry.....

Moose make Khornate Berserkers look like bitches in damage capacity and sheer rage. They are massive hate machines who's only purpose is to kill and munch on grass.

I'm actually really surprised this wasn't in Alaska.

Yeah, I don't think the Moose has any natural predators once full grown besides the Wolverine. Now thats a predator!

Brown Bears are in fact natural predators of Moose. Brown Bears of any are pretty much the natural predator of everything.
Wikipedia wrote:A full-grown moose has few enemies, but a pack of wolves can still pose a threat, especially to females with calves.[57] Siberian Tigers[58] and Brown bear[50] are also known to prey on moose, although bears are more likely to take over a wolf kill or to take young moose than to hunt adult moose on their own.[59] American black bears and cougars can be significant predators of moose calves in May and June and can, in rare instances, predate adults (mainly cows).[60][61] Wolverines are most likely to eat moose as carrion but have killed moose, including adults, when the large ungulates are weakened by harsh winter conditions.[62] Killer whales are the moose's only known marine predator as they have been known to prey on them when swimming between islands out of North America's Northwest Coast.[63]

Hey, if I had to choose between getting hit by a moose or a car I'd choose the car any day of the week.


At least the driver doesn't turn around and come at you again if the first charge/trample didn't kill you.

No, at least not yet. They found some blood, but the Bear was still alive last I checked. They are following it to track its movements.
