Investigators say 31 year old Daniel Ducharme, of South Hadley, was likely killed as a result of the crash on route 91 south in Hatfield. Police said the evidence suggests he was "either fully ejected or partially ejected and later dragged from the car by the bear."

The cause of the crash is still being investigated. Ducharme was the only person in the car. Police say he somehow lost control of the car, hit the guardrail multiple times, and went off the right side of the road. He went down an embankment before hitting several trees, police said.

It was the crash, imagine if he survived the crash and saw the bear afterwards.
