“Falling moose nearly takes out trooper”, article by Beth Bragg in today’s Anchorage Daily News. Yikes!
“We’ve seen the highway signs that warn of falling rocks, and we’ve seen the ones that warn of moose crossing. Now Howard Peterson of the Alaska State Troopers wonders if we need a new sign: ‘Watch for falling moose’.
A swing-shift trooper based in Girdwood, Peterson was cruising the Seward Highway the night of Feb. 2 a couple miles north of McHugh Creek when something big and black fell from the sky, landing about 20 feet from his car.” Article continues at link above.
This is just a few miles south of town. How… Alaskan.
