SUFFOLK Va. – A bear cub was euthanized Sunday after being struck by a car, according to Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

A Nissan Altima was traveling south near the 3500 block of Bridge Road when a bear cub ran in front of the moving vehicle.

The cub suffered a broken back, an injury that couldn’t be rehabilitated.

In order to keep the cub from suffering, it was euthanized as soon as possible.
