White RT in an Accident with a Bear - Cavendish Vt. Sun 9/29/2024

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

No, it wasn't me - But today (Sun) at 6:30 pm, a couple hit a bear on Rt 131 in Cavandish Vt. One person was seriously injured, unknown about the other. The White RT was demolished. The only thing that I could identify about it was that it had the "old" style fenders..... Mike :thumbup:

Bugga!! I wonder if they're members here?? :dontknow: Regardless, I hope both come thru OK! ray: ray:

The RT is just a thing, which with any luck is insured; but a bear could be a pretty big thing to hit, so any injuries might be pretty drastic & take a long time to recover from! :shocked:

Not good to hear about, let alone be involved in! :yikes:

Prayers to all involved. I almost had a collision with one on 74 and another on the BRP in NC. It is a scary situation. Every time I hear of an accident with a large animal, I think of Doc Humphries' wife and her accident with the deer. That was definitely a sad situation and nothing that you would want to hear happening to anyone.

Hitting a German Shepherd did over 5k of damage to one of mine. Plastic parts are expensive and having to color match them to champagne added to the cost.

Had a Brother of mine from back there was killed by a bear years ago. He (on 2 wheels) was on his way to work and the bear came out of the trees and hit him broadside.
