Woman finds live coyote wedged in her car’s grill

  • Georgie Knox was driving from her home in Airdrie to her work in Calgary, Canada two weeks ago when a coyote darted out in front of her car and she hit it
  • Knox thought she killed the wild dog, so she continued on her 20-mile commute to work 
  • ‘I heard a crunch and believed I ran over and killed it,’ she wrote on Facebook
  • When she got to Calgary, a construction worker pointed out that the coyote was embedded in the front grille of her car 
  • The coyote was still alive, so Knox called Alberta Fish and Wildlife for help 
  • They trapped the coyote, who had minimal injuries, and released it into the wild
  • ‘Clearly mother nature has other plans for this special little guy!’ Knox said

A coyote found itself in an embarrassing position, and this time it wasn’t the Road Runner’s fault. 

Georgie Knox was driving to work two weeks ago when a coyote darted out into the middle of the road and she hit it. 

‘I heard a crunch and believed I ran over and killed it,’ Knox wrote on Facebook last week.

Thinking the coyote was road kill, Knox continued on her 20 mile drive to work in Calgary, from her home in Airdire, Canada. 

But when she arrived in Calgary, a construction worker pointed out that the coyote was very much still alive – and stuck in her front grille like a figurehead on a ship. 

‘When I got out to look, this poor little guy was looking up and blinking at me,’ Knox wrote. 

So she called Alberta Fish and Wildlife for help, and they sent workers out to trap the wild dog. 

Amazingly, the coyote only suffered minor injuries in the accident ‘despite having hitched a ride from Airdrie to Calgary at highway speeds!’ Knox wrote. 

They were able to immediately release the coyote back into the wild near Kananaskis.

‘Clearly mother nature has other plans for this special little guy!’ Knox wrote.
