There was a similar accident, with a deer, several years ago here in Topeka. A car on the interstate hit a deer, it went flying through the air to the other side of the highway and struck the windshield of a car. The father of the family, who was the one driving, was killed instantly. The car went off the road and the rest of the family survived, but with serious injuries. So the kids and the wife had to witness a horrific death scene. ---

The bear didn’t really fly, it just got bumped up and through the windshield. Title is an obvious troll for pageviews. But it still made me laugh a little. I was actually expecting, from the headline, that the bear was hit by an enormous semi (causing no injuries to anyone in the semi), went sailing through the air (possibly down the side of a mountain), and landed on a passing person or vehicle and killed them. Now THAT’S humor! ---

Reading this earlier today I was shocked to see Canada made the Bear Bomber. ---

If this happened to Dennis Rodman, even if there was no bear involved it would be a freak accident. ---

My sympathies are in alignment with the the testimonies from friends and family of the deceased. This is a completely unbearable tragedy. ---

My favorite sentence of the article: “The bear also died.” Gee, ya think?
