Teen Drives Head-On Into Bear, Walks Away OK

A North Branch teenager recently had his own man-versus-beast encounter. After attending a Supercross event on April 14, Kyler Burggraff dropped off his girlfriend and was heading home just after midnight. His sister was asleep in the back seat, and there was nothing in front of him but the open road of County Road 9. That all changed in a split-second. “Came around the corner and it popped out. Came out of nowhere…came running right at me,” Kyler said.
