Coyote Got Stuck In Bumper After Being Hit By Car In Southwest FL

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, FL — A coyote was rescued after being hit by a vehicle and getting stuck in its bumper late last week, the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post.

Deputies learned that the animal — which they appropriately named Wile E. — had run out in front of the vehicle.

The coyote needed medical attention, so the Wildlife Center of Southwest Florida Rescue and Transport came for him.

“Apparently anvils don’t hurt but vehicles do,” the sheriff’s office said.
