A bear in Colorado meandered into a woman's truck looking for food, but soon had to be let out by police after getting stuck and finding the experience unbearable.

Dave Masters, who lives 15 miles west of Denver in a town called Evergreen, was informed about the animal's unhappiness when he heard the horn of his wife Sally's pickup blaring shortly after 1am on Friday.

He told Daily Mail Online that the Ford Ranger was shaking and that the lights were being turned on and off.

The bear, estimated at around 200lbs, had somehow gotten inside the vehicle before accidentally locking itself inside.

The sheriff's department later came to free the bear from the truck, but not before it had completely demolished the vehicle's interior

It then ripped up the vehicle's interior cushions, and Masters describes the truck as 'totalled'.

'I don't know if a bear (poops) in the woods, but it (poops) in my wife's truck,' Masters told the Denver Post.

The animal also destroyed the car's windshield while attempting to get out.

Police spokesman Jackie Kelley told Daily Mail Online that the officers followed protocol for bear incidents.

She said that Evergreen, which is built around a small river called Bear Creek, sees 'many many' of the animals.

Kelley said that officers quickly popped the pickup's door before driving away, and that the animal quickly pushed it open and clambered out of the vehicle.

The house is in a wooded area, and Kelley said that the furry creature scampered back 'into bear country'.

Masters,

There was no food in the pickup truck, and Masters is unsure why the bear entered the vehicle, according to KDVR.

'We needed a new truck anyway,' he said.

Masters said that he did not get any sleep last night and that his wife had difficulty exercising down near where the car was after remembering the incident with the bear.

He added that he is still waiting to hear back from his insurance company about being covered for the damage.
