A bear cub hit by a car in Bellevue Sunday was humanely euthanized Sunday night, according to the PAWS Wildlife Center in Lynnwood.
At about 4 p.m., officers responded to the report of a single-car collision along Coal Creek Parkway and Newcastle Commons Drive.
When officers arrived, they found a bear cub that had been injured after it was hit by a car.
Wildlife officers got the cub to PAWS Wildlife Center with a broken leg.
According to PAWS Wildlife Center, the cub suffered a joint fracture to its leg and doctors determined the cub would not recover enough to be safely released back into the wild.
The Bellevue police officers who accompanied the cub to the Wildlife Center were on-hand as doctors humanely euthanized the cub late last night.
