Deputies coordinated a plan and were able to free the trapped bear the sheriff’s office stated on a Facebook post which included a video of the “bear rescue.”
Afterward, a video of the interior of the car showed major damage to the siding and car seats.
The office also added that it is a good reminder for the public, that the spring season is an active time for the bear population at Lake Tahoe.
