Description

A vehicle and a single bear collided near the Ichinosawa settlement on National Route 252. The bear was just under 1 meter in body length. The bear crossed the highway from the Tobitogawa direction. Because the carcass was not found at the scene, it is believed the bear fled into the surrounding forest.
