Pregnant woman run over by car while escaping from bear
A pregnant woman hit by a car while running away from a bear has said she is going to “honor” the animal who was killed by authorities by giving her child the middle name “Bear”.
Ashley Swendsen, 26, said she thought the bear followed her more out of curiosity than malice because it kept a distance of about 10 feet Thursday morning on a hiking trail in northwestern Colorado Springs.
As she ran, she thought, “If it was going to hurt me, it already would have.”
Swendsen managed to scramble up an embankment and was crossing the street when she was hit by a slow-moving car. Although she was not seriously injured, she was taken to a hospital as a precaution because she was pregnant.
Police said they’re looking for the driver of the car that hit Swendsen. The driver stopped and spoke to her but left before police arrived.
