Yeah, it would be dead if it were on my property wandering around. I am not sure why he didn’t shoot it.

yeah i heard all about his accident while riding motocross, pretty insane. but yeah i know he has a ducati too, pretty sick.

Im also good friends with an ea cop as well, know a few others too. I was telling the guys in the office about this story today and none of them believed it until i showed them this thread.

**‘Dead dog’ on I-190 turns out to be a 100-pound bear**

By Gene Warner  
News Staff Reporter

The initial call came in just before midnight Tuesday, the report of an apparently dead dog that had been struck and killed on the Niagara Thruway, just a few miles south of downtown Buffalo.  
Trooper Randall Shenefiel found otherwise, when he responded to the southbound Niagara Thruway between Seneca and Smith streets.  
“He gets there and determines that the animal is actually a black bear cub that had been struck [and killed] by a vehicle,” State Police Capt. Michael P. Nigrelli said.  
The bear, found lying in the road, was a yearling, an approximately 1 1/2-year-old male weighing about 110 pounds, the state Department of Environmental Conservation revealed after further investigation.  
Troopers moved the bear’s body onto the shoulder of the road before maintenance workers removed the carcass later this morning.  
The black bear was the second one to be killed in traffic in Erie County in the last two weeks. And the location this time was even more startling — just a couple miles from downtown Buffalo.  
On the night of May 15, a driver on the Aurora Expressway in the Town of Aurora struck and killed another young black bear, although that one was considered older than a cub.  
“It was like a straightforward car-deer accident, but it happened to be a bear,” East Aurora Police Officer Darren Longboat said the next day.  
So that’s two young bears killed 11 days apart, both in more residential areas than bears normally are found.  
“This is very unusual, that these animals are displaced to the point that they’re coming into a residential area,” Nigrelli said. “If they’re roaming around a residential area like this, there’s cause for concern.”  
The bears are out of their element and skittish, so Nigrelli advised caution for anyone who gets near one that has been struck.  
“Do not approach an injured bear,” he said. "We don’t know enough about bears to predict their actions. "
