Wild animals are beautiful. As long as we can observe them from afar. They’re dangerous when they run across roads and interstates, so slow the hell down. This moose was tagged by an SUV in Colorado near the Eagle’s Nest Wilderness off Highway 9 north of Vail and Breckenridge. The giant animal flies 10 feet in the air before landing and running away. “The car windshield was shattered and nearly broke through,” wrote Kayla Whitehead, who shot the video. The people in the car were OK. The moose left a skid mark of hair on the road and limped off slowly into the bushes.”

Fish and Wildlife officials followed the tracks of the battered animal and didn’t find a carcass so apparently, the animal survived. The car was mangled, though, with a broken windshield and crushed hood. Thankfully that was it. This is a busy stretch of highway for animals and the State is actually working on creating a highway overpass for wildlife so they can avoid the road and collisions like this.

Collisions with animals on American roadways kill between 150 and 200 people annually. And what this driver did was actually the right thing to do. Many fatalities from animal collisions or interactions on roadways are caused when drivers swerve to miss the animals.
