Know what else is free?  STAYING IN ONE'S LANE.  Why did the vehicle "fly" across the median? The reporter fails to state if it "flew" to avoid hitting the bear and then crashed, OR, if in the process of zipping across the median, it then struck the bear. It reads as though the bear had nothing to do with the dumb driver losing control, and the bear just happened to be in the SUV's path. SUV jammed with people, nobody wearing seatbelts. Hmmm, what was that Forest Gump quote?
