Monday night a bear was hit on East Highway 25/70 but survived, and there were reports of another incident over the weekend. Late Tuesday evening a bear was struck on I-40 near the 451 milemarker. Deputy Sgt. Bob Schaff said a Knoxville man was westbound just after 10 p.m. when he hit a dead bear in the roadway.
