Bears struck by drivers in Yosemite

Officials in Yosemite National Park are alarmed that four bears have recently been struck by speeding motorists.

Officials at Yosemite National Park are urging drivers to slow down, because four bears have been struck by vehicles in recent weeks. 

The animals were hit by vehicles traveling faster than the 25-mile-per-hour speed limit in the park, officials said. 

Two bears were killed in the collisions and two others were receiving care. 

Yosemite is open during the coronavirus pandemic, but only to guests who make reservations.
