Bear dragged crash victim's body from car in woods off Massachusetts highway, police say

HATFIELD - A bear is believed to have dragged the body of a western Massachusetts crash victim out of his car on Sunday, State Police say.

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."

Another driver called police at 11 a.m. on Sunday when they noticed a car in the woods off the side of the road. Troopers found a "heavily damaged" 2016 Honda Civic among the trees.
