The bear and driver, who were traveling in opposite directions, both approached each other slowly and with caution.
Once they got near each other, the bear decided to take a look inside the vehicle to see what was going on inside.
"Holy schnikes. No, thank you," the driver said as the bear put its paws up onto the driver's side door and peered in. "What can I do for you?"
The bear ultimately decided to move on, but not before giving the driver a close encounter they'll take with them for the long haul.
