PLEASANTON (CBS SF) – A Pleasanton family vacationing in west Lake Tahoe watched in amazement as a bear got into their Toyota Prius, took it for a ride down the driveway and tore it to pieces. (click below to read more)
And they watched through the window as it all happened.
Brian McCarthy, Cece McCarthy and their son Dylan woke up in their
Lake Tahoe cabin in the middle of the night on August 28 to the sounds
of the bear in their car.
After the black bear climbed completely inside the car it apparently
couldn’t get out. In its struggle, the bear hit the gear shift and the
car rolled away for a wild, albeit short, ride down the McCarthy’s
driveway, over several boulders, only stopping when it slammed into a
neighbor’s front porch.
“All of the sudden we look out the window again and the car is gone,
the bear is down the driveway – we have this steep driveway coming out
of our cabin – he’s down the driveway across the street,” said Cece
McCarthy.
The bear was then able to get out and run back into the woods, while
the car was left ripped apart, according to the Contra Costa Times.
