2 people die as bear flies through SUV
A bizarre auto accident involving two vehicles and a bear has left two people and the bear dead, Canadian authorities said.
Police in Quebec said a 300-pound male black bear wandered onto a road and was struck by an eastbound Pontiac Sunfire. The impact sent the animal hurtling through the air, where it smashed the windshield of a westbound Nissan Pathfinder sport utility vehicle and went out through the back window, regional police spokesman Officer Martin Fournel said.
"It was a 300-pound bullet," he said.
The SUV's 35-year-old female driver and a 40-year-old man sitting behind her were killed; a 28-year-old front-seat passenger suffered minor injuries, Fournel said. In the Pontiac, neither the driver, a 23-year-old man, nor his 19-year-old male passenger was hurt.
No alcohol or drugs were involved, and police are still trying to determine each vehicle's speed in the 90 kph (56 mph) zone, Fournel said, adding that charges are unlikely.
"It's a first, there's no doubt about that," he said. "We had similar accident several years ago with a deer going through the windshield and ending up in the back seat, where it injured a boy. He wasn't killed, he was hurt. But it was not like this."
It's bear mating season, and many male bears are out looking - sometimes recklessly - for females, so drivers on rural roads should be watchful, hunting guide Daniel Larocque told the Canadian television network CBC.
The accident occurred near the town of Luskville, about 25 miles northwest of Ottawa, Ontario.

"When bears fly!"
This story in Canadian newspapers say the bear was female and weighed 300lbs.
@eemoog It was an error on the Canadian paper's fault. The bear's penis was later found in the glove box.
Do they know in Quebec that it's bear mating season?
We have a lot of deer that cross roads near our country house. We don't exactly tear down those roads: we ease on down.
Good for you if you slow down during mating season. But this is a 1 in a 1 000 000 around here. People are careful but tragedies happen. I have a question for you, do you know where Quebec is? Name Canada's Capital...
Bob & Joey, did either of you even read the article?
1. It's bear mating season, and many male bears are out looking – sometimes recklessly – for females, so drivers on rural roads should be watchful, hunting guide Daniel Larocque told CBC.
2. No one in the "car" was hurt.
too soon...
Colbear warned ya!
CNN is disappointing me more and more... "No one was hurt"... Really?
No one in the car was hurt – 2 people in the SUV died. Learn to read.
Yes really. Did you read the article?
No one in the "car" was hurt.
No one in the CAR was hurt.
No one in the 'car' was hurt. Two people died in the SUV. TWO vehicles were involved, one that struck the bear, putting it into the bear and into the path of the oncoming SUV that was going in the opposite direction. .
The article says "no one in the car was hurt". The car launched the bear into the air. The bear went through the windshield of an SUV, a different vehicle.
I bet you four would like the few seconds wasted on this post.... Me too...
2 people in the SUV were killed. Nobody in the car (meaning the car that initially hit the bear) were hurt.
Alright, what else can I read to you
Read the story, CNN is correct that nobody was hurt in THE CAR...the car hit the bear and sent it airborne into the SUV where people were killed. CNN is actually correct here.
Uh, they were talking about the car that struck the bear, not the SUV that caught the flying bear.
NO ONE IN THE CAR WAS HURT. L2READ.
Wait, so where was no one hurt? The TEN replies all saying EXACTLY THE SAME THING didn't sink in...sorry.
Definitely hate to hear this for the bear and the people. Also, might want to fix the typo. After talking about 2 in the die car and one had minor injuries the article states, "No one in the car was hurt."
If you re-read it says the one car initially struck the bear, sending it flying into the SUV. So it's not technically a typo, but does sound a little weird in it's placement.
No one was hurt in the car that hit the bear. Read the entire post. The people who died were in the SUV.
Matt, you may want to re-read the article. It said 2 in the SUV were killed and one injured. No one in the car was hurt. The car hit the bear and the bear went into the SUV.
No one in the car that struck the bear was hurt. The fatalities occured in the SUV which the bear flew into after being struck by the small car.
Nobody in the other car was hurt. Two in the SUV were killed.
no one in the car was hurt... meaning the car that launched the bear into the SUV where the fatalities occurred... good job reading...
@Matt – you dummy. They are talking about the car that hit the bear in the first place
The people in the SUV were either injured or killed. The people in the CAR, the other vehicle mentioned in the story, were unhurt. Read the article before you comment!
I can't believe the poor bear is dead. Those people should be arrested, even the dead people, for killing that ppor animal. Where is PETA? Arise all PETA crazies and protest the killing of this poor bear. He was just trying to get some girly action and those terrible humans got in his way.
Read closer. It says that the driver and a back seat passenger in the SUV were killed; the front seat passenger of the SUV had minor injuries. No one in the car that hit the bear was hurt. There were 2 vehicles involved. Maybe CNN wouldn't suck so much if you actually read the story.
Not a typo. A small car hit the bear and it flew up in the air and went through an SUV. Nobody in the car that initially hit the bear was hurt.
It's a short article, folks. Apparently Reading Comprehension 101 needs to be revisited.
Yes no one in the initial car was hurt. The car hit the bear, sent it flying, and the flying bear hit a second car.. an SUV. People in the SUV were indeed hurt.
An SUV is not a car. It's a truck. When the article states no one in the car was hurt, it was referring to the small car that first hit the bear, not the SUV where people died.
No one died in the car. Read again – the article states that the car clipped the bear and in doing so, the bear was thrust into the air and hit an oncoming SUV. The people in the SUV were the ones that were hurt/killed. Not the people in the car that initially hit the bear.
Actually the story is accurate & people are misinterpreting the word "car." The small car hit the bear & sent it flying into an SUV. 2 people died in the SUV but the people in the small car were unhurt. An SUV is not a car. Technically it's a truck. But many people don't understand SUVs are not cars.
@Derek. To be pedantic: it depends on the SUV as to whether it's a "car" or a "truck". The original crop of SUVs were based off of truck bodies for a number of reasons. More recently manufactures have switched to using car bodies as the base. The story didn't identify what make/model the SUV was and from the picture it's difficult to tell - "car" may actually be the appropriate term.
@George Yeah, it doesn't say what make or model the Nissan Pathfinder is, so technically it could be either
