A patrol car was struck by a falling bear in Northern California last weekend.
Authorities say a Humboldt County sheriff's deputy was driving on State Route 96 on August 3, answering a report of a drug overdose in thecommunity of Orleans, when the bear fell or jumped onto the car, apparently from a steep embankment.

The bear smashed the hood and windshield. The patrol car hit an embankment, rolled onto its side and burst into flames.
