A bear weighing 300 pounds or so was struck and killled by an SUV Monday morning, June 6, on a freeway transition road in Irwindale.
The crash occurred about 4:15 a.m. on the roadway from the westbound 210 Freeway to the southbound 605 Freeway, California Highway Patrol Officer Ramon Kendricks said.
It was unclear how much damage the SUV sustained.
A flatbed truck took the bear’s body to the Caltrans Monrovia Yard, where it was to be recovered by a California Fish and Wildlife biologist, Officer Rodrigo Jimenez said.
