Coyote Recovering After Accident

Mark Armour thought he hit something on his way work as a train conductor in Illinois last week, but he didn’t see anything, so he kept driving. When he arrived at the station, his stunned co-workers told him there was a coyote stuck in his car’s front bumper. "I felt horrible," Armour told the New York Daily News. The staff called animal control for help at 6:30 a.m. An officer responded right away and safely freed the coyote, and brought him to Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation. The coyote, who’s been named Vern, had three fractured legs but is now resting comfortably and is expected to recover. Armour is helping the center raise money to take care of Vern. They hope to release him into the wild in the spring. — Read it at the Chicago Sun-Times

An adorable coyote was taken on a hair-raising ride after becoming lodged inside of a man's bumper when struck on an Illinois road.

The battered animal was photographed while hanging out of the driver's front bumper after the man pulled into work last week to bewildered looks by his fellow co-workers.

"I felt horrible," Kenosha resident Mark Armour, who admittedly struck the dog on Sept. 24th, said with a photo shared on his Facebook wall.

"Not knowing he was there, I continued to drive to work, and discovered him upon arrival," he stated.

The rattled driver said he immediately contacted Waukegan animal control whose workers were able to rescue the dog — Armour has named him "Vern" — and transport it to Flint Creek Wildlife in Barrington.
