Deputy frees trapped bear from car
A California police officer freed a trapped bear from a woman’s Subaru by breaking the car’s window.
Deputy Dave Lade responded after police received the call about a bear in a car in Lake Tahoe. Lade carefully broke out one of the car’s windows and ran as the bear escaped. The car’s interior was damaged, but officials say there were no injuries.
Police say bears have learned how to open car doors in search of food, but they aren’t as good at getting themselves out.
