A pregnant woman in Colorado Springs was struck by a car as she ran from a bear.
Ashley Swendsen told Meredith Vieira on the Today show that she thought the bear was really cute, and pretended it was a dog until it gave chase. She began to run, screaming for help. The path she had been walking on ran out, and she ran into the road. A driver slowed down, but hit Swendsen, and then drove off without seeing if she was hurt.
Swendsen managed to make it back home, where she and her fiance called the police. The bear made regular visits to her neighbor's yard. Swendsen identified the bear to the police and the animal was put down. Her neighbors are now angry at her for the "unnecessary" death of the bear.
Talk about a bad day. Chased by a bear, hit by a car, and then blamed by your neighbors when the bear is dead- all while pregnant. But she has a good sense of humor. She says her child will have the middle name "Little Bear" when he's born.
