Trapped inside a car, the adult black bear and cub thrashed about. The horn was blaring and the radio blasting. Outside the car, a second cub ran around in apparent distress by the Connecticut home.
WINSTED, Conn. ? State environmental conservation police were called by the startled vehicle owner on the morning of July 15. They opened a door, and the two bears ran off into the woods safe and sound with the third bear. The car's interior, however, wasn't so fortunate: It was completely torn apart.
On Sunday, a nearly 500-pound black bear was struck and killed by a car on a highway in Torrington, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said. While bears have been breaking into cars, trash bins and homes in the western U.S. for a long time, such incidents were rare in Connecticut a few decades ago. They're now a growing phenomenon. In June, a black bear was shot to death in Canton by a person who claimed self-defense.
