As if California’s Bay Area drivers didn’t have enough to contend with dodging vehicles, animals in the US state have joined the confusion, including a mountain lion that was struck and killed in San Mateo County. California Highway Patrol said the cougar was hit by an unknown vehicle on Interstate 280.

It’s the second mountain lion killed in recent weeks – a mountain lion wearing a tracking collar was shot and killed in the mountains north of Los Angeles – and the second in 2019 to be killed by a vehicle. In July, a mountain lion was hit by a car on Highway 29 near Lakeport. The accident injured nine people.
