It's bad enough to hit a moose with a car.
Try hitting two.
Two moose killed by the same truck in Fairbanks area. That's what happened to Jim Remington and his family Sunday night around Fairbanks. They hit a bull moose and a cow moose. Remington was driving with his girlfriend Sherry Steffens, their two children and the family dog when one moose crossed in front of their pickup truck on Farmers Loop Road on the outskirts of town.
Then the truck hit the other moose.
