Bear Trapped in Car in Vermont | Montpelier News

A Vermont woman’s Toyota RAV4 became an unexpected bear trap after a black bear got stuck inside overnight—no food in the car, just her jacket. The bear tore through the dashboard, door panels, and wiring, forcing insurance to declare it a total loss. A game warden suspects a second bear may have accidentally shut the door, trapping its buddy. Now, Merrick’s on alert, warning neighbors to lock their cars as bears grow bolder and more persistent this season—especially when you’re just trying to get to your donut shift.
