Bear sighted galloping across U.S. 220 near Daleville

We have a bear sighting!

Katerina Yancey of Fincastle reports seeing a "huge" bear crossing U.S. 220 near Daleville today. She tells us:

"At 1:15 I was returning to work when a black bear galloped across 220 in front of my car and the dump truck next to me. It was heading from Ikenberry’s orchard toward McMurray’s."

We'll soon be adding her sighting to our map of bear sightings on the Datasphere. Have you seen a bear recently in Botetourt? Let us know at news@botetourtview.com.
