Black bear dies after getting trapped inside car in Colorado

A black bear entered an unlocked vehicle in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and died after being unable to escape. State wildlife officials confirmed the incident, noting the bear weighed around 300 pounds but did not disclose its age or sex. The bear was discovered several days later during hot weather, though officials did not confirm if heat or starvation led to its death. Colorado Parks and Wildlife Officer Travis Sauder explained that bears often enter vehicles seeking food, but can become trapped when doors close. He attributed the situation to a 'food failure' year due to low snowpack and late freezes, which reduced natural food sources. Officials advised residents to keep vehicles locked and avoid leaving food or trash inside.
