Black bear struck and killed by car
State police say a young black bear was struck and killed by a car in Frederick County.
It happened about 8:15 p.m. Saturday in the westbound lanes of U.S. 340 west of Mount Zion Road.
Police say they believe they chased the same bear Friday night after receiving reports of it roaming near U.S. 340 and U.S.15.
Jesse Jewell, the car's driver, said he was in the right lane and swerved left when he saw the bear coming from the right shoulder. Jewell was not injured, and his car ended up in the median.
