Just the plain “bear” facts folks.
An accident between a car and a black bear seriously damaged the car and resulted in the bear having to be euthanized, according to a report by the the Martin County Sheriff Department.
Martin County deputies say the incident happened around 5 A.M. Monday on state Route 40 in the Blacklog area.
Later that morning, the sheriff department were notified that the bear was alive and under a building near the accident site where it had growled at a woman.
The bear, which was estimated to weigh more than 350 pounds, was critically injured and had to be euthanized by Kentucky Department Fish and Wildlife biologists.
