CPW seeks out bear reportedly dragging hind legs in Jefferson County

Colorado Parks and Wildlife says officers are aware of a bear seen dragging its hind legs on Highway 285 between Turkey Creek Road and Aspen Park. An officer responded to the area on Wednesday morning.

CPW says the bear was most likely hit by a car. Officials tell CBS4 the officer did not find the bear. 

It is assumed the animal retreated to the forest or the report may not have been completely accurate.
