A Washington woman was uninjured after striking a moose near 100 Concord Street, or Route 202, in Antrim Monday night.
Police were summoned to the area at 9:45 p.m., Officer Leland Hunter said, after a Ford Edge SUV driven by Janice Riessle, 69, of Washington collided with a moose. Riessle was checked by EMT’s and didn’t report any injuries, but the vehicle was totaled and towed from the scene.
The moose ran off into the woods and officers and other responders were unable to find it, Hunter said. Although the animal had fallen onto the vehicle’s windshield and caused enough damage to total the vehicle, there was no evidence that it had been severely injured, he said, and there have been no sightings since the crash.
