(Newser) – An unlucky Norwegian man driving on a country road at night swerved around a moose in the road only to hit an even unluckier bear. Wildlife officials say the bear, one of only around 150 in the country, was injured in the crash, Reuters reports. They have found traces of blood indicating internal injuries and are trying to track the wounded animal. The car was damaged in the collision but the driver—and the moose—were unharmed.

Norway is home to around 100,000 moose, including one very lucky one.

This guy has some bad bad bad mojo. Hits one of only 150 bears in the whole country after missing a moose? What Grizzly luck this guy has.
