A bear cub that took a stroll down Price Street in Pismo Beach on Monday afternoon got a ride out of the neighborhood in a Fish and Wildlife pickup after getting tranquilized by a biologist.

According to the California Highway Patrol’s Traffic Incident Information Page, an injured back bear cub was first reported in the area of the Hinds Avenue off-ramp from Highway 101 at 4:04 p.m.

In a post on Facebook, Pismo Beach resident Pattea Torrance said she spotted the cub running in the street near the intersection of Price Street and Hinds Avenue, noting that the bear “doesn’t look like it’s hurting anyone although it does look very frightened.”

The cub may have been injured, though the extent is unknown, the CHP said.

After the cub was reported in the area of the Hinds Avenue off-ramp, the ramp was coned off to traffic by the CHP.

The bear then climbed a tree in the 600 block of Price Street, attracting the interest of onlookers.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife officers arrived, and a biologist with a tranquilizer gun was able to dart the bear.

Shortly before 6 p.m., the team then loaded the sleepy fellow into a box so it could be relocated to a safer place downtown Pismo Beach.

With the operation a success, onlookers clapped in appreciation, with one person calling out, “Nice job, you guys!”

Fish and Wildlife decline to answer questions from The Tribune, and it’s unclear where they planned to take the bear.
