Bear seen rolling along East Coast Expressway (VIDEO)

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — A video posted online today shows a bear writhing on the ground in the middle of the East Coast Expressway 2 (LPT2) heading to Kuantan, apparently after being hit by a car.

The video was posted on Facebook by a user named Khairul Nizam.

He said he was one of the first to arrive at the scene of yesterday’s incident, which he initially mistook for a motorcycle accident.

“From a distance, I thought the ‘rider’ had been hit due to its large size, about the size of a man. Only when I got closer did I realize it was a bear. He tried to get up but was unable to, possibly due to a broken bone or other injury.

“After that, I immediately called LPT2 to send out a patrol,” he said in his post.

According to a Sinar Harian report, Terengganu Perhilitan director Loo Kin Song said six officers visited the site at 1.30pm yesterday but did not find the bear.
