Cyclist Injured After Collision With Moose Near Bozeman
BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — A bicyclist is recovering from a broken arm after colliding with a mother moose.
The Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/1KsN2Tc) Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokeswoman Andrea Jones says signage has been posted warning people about the moose, but that she has likely moved on.
The moose and 30-year-old Brian Steddum collided helmet to nose Sunday night after Steddum says he came around a corner on the Bozeman Creek Trail and saw the animal with her calf.
Steddum says he fell, took a kick to the hip, then got back on his bike and fled.
An x-ray taken at the hospital shows the ulna bone in his forearm snapped in half. Steddum says he feels lucky it wasn't worse.
