Last Wednesday workers from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Michigan State Police freed a black bear from a culvert on Interstate 75 in northern Bay County's Fraser Township before tagging it and releasing it into the wild for study. Today, the DNR confirmed that the bear was killed after it was hit by a vehicle in the vicinity of West Erickson Road and North 11 Mile Road in Bay County's Garfield Township. The DNR added the driver of the vehicle was uninjured in the collision. “We do have occasional bear-car collisions in the spring,” DNR wildlife outreach technician Katie Keen. “It’s not unheard of, (the bears) are moving this time of year.”
