Saturday afternoon about 4 p.m., a driver on 465 near Eagle Lake struck a bear cub on the roadway.
The driver stopped and returned to find the bear Cub, who it appears did not survive the hit. MDWFP was contacted along with Warren County Sheriff’s deputies.
Before officials could arrive, the driver alerted them the bear had survived the impact and was coming out of it.
Lee Harvey with MDWFP took control of the scene and established a safe perimeter from the cub. It was unclear if the mother was still in the area or if the injured cub would lash out. Several people were asked to move from the area.
The Vicksburg Daily News will update on the condition of the cub as more information becomes available.
