A quiet afternoon turned terrifying when a woman opened her car door and found a bear inside.
Frozen in shock, she locked eyes with the animal—then ran as it lunged at her. The bear chased her down the street until a neighbor scared it off by banging pots.
Authorities believe the bear was drawn by food left in the car. The woman wasn’t hurt, but the encounter—and photos of the damage—quickly went viral.
Reminder: Don’t leave food in your car. In bear country, it could cost you your life.
