I was driving home from work this evening and had to slam on my brakes due to a 150lb black bear crossing the highway in front of me. This reminded me to post this pic of a car accident I ran here on sunday. The guy in the white car lived, the guy in the landcruiser died after he was ejected and ran over by the dodge truck, you can see the body covered up in the back ground.

How do you know the bear weighs 150 pounds?
-
Just a guess on the bear based on a life time of being out in the wilderness and many years of hunting. I might be off by 10-20lbs but 150 is very close.
-
150 is kinda small, isn't it?
-
maybe he meant 1,500 lb ? :D
-
I would assume.

Show me a Black Bear that weighs 1500lbs. and I'll wire my Checking account funds.
The World Record for an American Black Bear is around 880 pounds.

black bears are usually something like 500 pounds...a 150 pounder would have to be a baby...
-
Black Bears aren't all that big. But they are good at causing trouble.
-
yep... if he were wearing his seatbelt they coulda just buried the whole car.

Dont matter if it was 150lbs or 500lbs, it still wouldn't have been a good thing hitting it. Thats kinda like smashing your finger in a door or with a hammer, they both are bad. :)

Bingo! we have a winner!
I didn't say he was huge, just said he was about 150lbs, Im thinking winter/spring 2002 cub.
Only ever seen one black bear that was over 400lbs, just fricking huge for a black bear. And he was following me...
-
Sammy Sosa's a Cub, and he's gotta top 200...

Kinda looks like a Maxima, a Camry, or the small Lexus.
With that kind of roof crushage, I'm surprised the guy lived.
-
That would be a new Nissan Maxima.. the funky sun roofs give it away..
Had there been someone sitting in the pasenger seat they would have been killed..
