OTTAWA (Reuters) - Two Canadians died instantly in a freak accident when a car hit a 440-pound (200-kg) black bear and sent the animal flying straight through the windshield of an oncoming vehicle, local media said Wednesday.

The bear's body hit the 25-year-old driver and a 40-year-old man sitting behind her and then shot out of the back window. The bear also died.

The accident happened Monday night in a rural area about 25 miles north of the federal capital Ottawa.

"We don't see (this) often, even if we live in the country. Lots of deer, but collisions with a bear and two people died? That's really rare," local police spokesman Martin Fournel told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.

Collisions between vehicles and animals are common in Canada, which has a healthy population of large wild animals such as moose and deer.

Without an opposable thumb to hold the stick how on earth did a bear get a pilots licence in the first place?

Haven't you seen him?

[BREAK]-And this is where it all went wrong. I went off hunting for a picture of an amusing cuddly or chubby bear in order to take the piss, as one does. All I am saying is do not Google 'Chubby Bear' in Google Images with SafeSearch switched off. There are some subcultures you really don't need to know about.

Weird thing is though, I did actually find him, first image.
