Moose mowed over by car, or car mowed over by Moose, neither one fared too well in this encounter.
South River is approximately 40 miles South of North Bay in Ontario. Apparently there are many moose over there and a few are either not too bright or kinda slow.
You would think this kind of thing… yes, moose slams into car… does not happen often, but this is the second post I have done about the subject.
So here is what they say happened.. The Moose went right through the windshield and half out the back…trapping the women underneath it!! Crazy eh? That happened just north of South River…While I was on the phone with the guy reporting it, he says its dead..then all of a sudden he says oh oh its still alive….then he shouts does anyone have a shotgun!!! Can you imagine..trying to shoot the moose with the women underneath!! Quite the call I tell ya! The lucky woman driver ended up with a broken wrist and needed a good bath. The moose’s insides were all over her.
Yikes, amazing and so, so, sad at the same time.
So why did the Moose cross the Road? well apparently to get to the lady moose on the other side and we know how blinding lust can be.
From an article about the issue of Moose vs. Cars
Hitting a moose with a car is dangerous and the results can be tragic. In September and October, when a cow comes into her breeding cycle there is virtually nothing that can keep an amorous suitor away. Problems arise when this game of “catch me if you can” take moose into residential areas or across major highways. Similarly, in the spring when yearling moose are trying to find a new territory, moose sightings on roads and highways are more frequent. Because they have no predators, moose can be oblivious to the potential dangers posed by cars, trucks, buses and trains and most people are unaware of the number of moose in our midst.
