Bear Hit by Car on Highway 154

By an edhat reader

Just PSA/reminder to please use caution when driving in the mountains and foothills of our area. This morning while driving on Highway 154, I saw a large bear that had been hit by a car on the side of the road near Rancho Allegre/Lake Cachuma.

It was initially reported on the CHP website at 11PM last night, and it was still there when I passed by shortly before 7AM. Super sad. Please be safe and mindful of our local wildlife out there.
