Newfoundland police say a driver who hit a moose on the Trans-Canada Highway Thursday morning was most likely distracted because he was looking at another driver who had hit a moose.

The accident, near Holyrood, was among five separate moose accidents in the Avalon Peninsula that happened within 80 minutes of each other.

“It appears that one vehicle may have struck a moose while trying to see what was happening across the highway at another crash minutes earlier,” RCMP said in a press release sent to the CBC.

No one was seriously injured in the string of accidents, but damages are estimated to cost thousands of dollars.

In police photos, one truck appeared to be on its side in the ditch with its front hood smashed in, while another car had its front windshield smashed.
