Official Black Bear Akita Tegata-Sumiyoshicho, Akita May 14, 2025, 02:55 AM

Description

Correction: While driving, a bear about 1 m long leapt onto the road from the direction of Akita University’s main gate and collided with the car. The bear then moved toward the east. It was about 150 m from houses. (The initial report said it left west; after verification it was confirmed to have left to the east, so this is corrected.)
