Two collisions with moose in a single morning

On the morning of November 5, a moose was killed under the wheels of a car in Zelenograd, in the Moscow region. This was reported by the Telegram channel 'MK: Urgent News', which noted that this was already the second moose killed under a car that morning. The published footage shows the animal's carcass occupying one lane of the road, with traffic police officers arriving at the scene — traffic came to a standstill.

First incident: a moose in a swamp and a closed road

Earlier that same morning, on November 5, another moose got stuck in a swamp in the Matushkino district of Zelenograd. Rescuers helped it get out, after which the animal headed toward Panfilovsky Prospekt, and the road was closed. Thus, in a single morning, the city saw two separate incidents involving moose: one was saved, while the other died in a collision with a car.

Context: wild animals on the roads

Reports of wild animals near roads and populated areas appear regularly: on November 3, in Primorsky Krai, near the entrance to the village of Chuguyevka, a motorist filmed a tiger on videowhich, according to the author of the clip, looked healthy, behaved calmly, and showed interest in people and cars. The predator's proximity to the populated area worried the person filming, since adults and children walk along that road every day. It was also previously reported about a moose that darted out in front of a taxi on the MKAD.
