A black bear was injured after being struck by two vehicles on Highway 99 near West Vancouver. The bear ran off into a nearby green space with visible serious injuries.
Meanwhile, Conservation Officers have been dispatched to find the bear.
A North Vancouver based group, North Shore Black Bear Society, reported the injured bear and said this is a reminder that bears are still active.
“Please help to reduce bear activity in urban areas by keeping your garbage in a secure area until the morning of collection. Please do not put up bird feeders. Bird feeders contain thousands of calories & are a strong bear attractant. These unnatural food sources keep bears active in residential areas where they are at risk of being hit by cars or killed for spending time close to our homes,” the society said.
