The clip shows Andy Kerrigan jump back and circle to the front of the truck while the bear keeps rummaging around, apparently hunting for food after slipping in through an open window, reports KDVR. The animal ignores the open door until Kerrigan returns with a wooden plank and manages to safely shoo it into leaving, per UPI.
