A black bear in Colorado dies after becoming trapped inside an unlocked car in Colorado Springs for several days, according to reports. The bear, described as weighing about 250 to 300 pounds, is found after it has been inside the vehicle while trying to escape.
One report says the bear damages the car’s interior while attempting to get out. Another report describes the bear as having climbed into the vehicle and becoming trapped during summer heat. Both accounts link the death to the car being left unlocked and to the bear’s inability to exit.
The accounts differ mainly in details such as the bear’s estimated weight and how long it has been trapped, but both characterize the incident as a bear entering an unlocked vehicle, becoming stuck, and dying while still inside.
