In the US state of Colorado, a car horn that blared continuously through the night alarmed neighborhood residents. A morning check revealed that a black bear trapped inside a parked SUV had repeatedly pressed the horn while trying to escape. After the door was remotely opened, the bear fled into the forest, leaving the vehicle with material damage.
A neighborhood in Colorado, USA, was alarmed by a car horn sounding continuously throughout the night. By morning, the source of the noise turned out not to be a neighbor, but a black bear trapped inside a parked SUV.
CAR HORN HEARD THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT
The incident occurred in the town of Gold Hill, Colorado. Residents were bewildered by the car horn that blared nonstop during the night. Many assumed the sound came from a careless driver or one of their neighbors.
MORNING SCENE ASTONISHED RESIDENTS
When citizens approached the vehicle in the morning, they encountered a black bear trapped in the front seat of the parked SUV. It was assessed that the bear entered the car through a door left open before it locked, and became trapped after the door closed. In its attempt to escape, the bear leaned on the steering wheel, sounding the horn repeatedly throughout the night.
CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE
A resident trying to safely free the bear tied a long rope to the vehicle's door handle and opened the door from a distance. Once the door opened, the bear quickly escaped the car and fled into the wooded area. It was reported that the SUV's side panels were damaged and the driver's airbag had deployed.
