Moose plowes into the car, or car plows into the poor Moose, neither the auto nor the giant moose did too well here. Actually, the moose and the car seem to have gne to an early grave in this sick wreck.

This all happened in a place called South River, which is about 40 miles S. of North Bay in Ontario.

moose xing or crossing

This is the second time I have done a post such as this because these accidents are so amazing. The moose is almost 1/4 the size of the car and may in fact be 1/4 the weight as well. I have looked at many pictures of animals hitting cars or cars hitting animals in North America, but the most damage is always done by the moose. I really can’t think of any other animal around here that can total a car.

You would think this kind of thing… yes, moose slams into car… does not happen often, but from what I have read, it does happen often and many roads even have signs up warning of Moose crossing.

Anyway in this way sick wreck below, the moose slammed through the windshield and out the back window.

So here is what they say happened.. The Moose went right through the windshield and half out the back…trapping the women underneath it!! Crazy eh? That happened just north of South River…While I was on the phone with the guy reporting it, he says its dead..then all of a sudden he says oh oh its still alive….then he shouts does anyone have a shotgun!!! Can you imagine..trying to shoot the moose with the women underneath!! Quite the call I tell ya! The lucky woman driver ended up with a broken wrist and needed a good bath. The moose’s insides were all over her.

Yikes, amazing and so, so, sad at the same time.

So why did the Moose cross the Road? well apparently to get to the lady moose on the other side and we know how blinding lust can be.

From an article about the issue of Moose vs. Cars

Hitting a moose with a car is dangerous and the results can be tragic. In September and October, when a cow comes into her breeding cycle there is virtually nothing that can keep an amorous suitor away. Problems arise when this game of “catch me if you can” take moose into residential areas or across major highways. Similarly, in the spring when yearling moose are trying to find a new territory, moose sightings on roads and highways are more frequent. Because they have no predators, moose can be oblivious to the potential dangers posed by cars, trucks, buses and trains and most people are unaware of the number of moose in our midst.
