CLAIBORNE CO., Miss. (WLBT) - Mississippi Highway Patrol is investigating after three cars crashed into a bear.
The crash happened Wednesday at around 8:30 p.m. on Hwy 61 in Claiborne County, near Willows Road.
Officials say three separate vehicles collided with a bear that crossed into the roadway.
One of the drivers was taken to the hospital with non-critical injuries. The other drivers were uninjured.
The bear did not survive and was recovered by officers with the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
Both agencies are investigating.
There's rarely an excuse for hitting an animal. It's usually speed or lack of compassion that does it.
