Account

The witness was driving on Highway 2 when the car ahead stopped to avoid an animal crossing the road. The witness stopped behind that car and watched the animal from behind as it reached the left side of the road and walked into the bushes. The witness later concluded it was too tall and thin to have been a bear.
