The driver who struck and killed a famous grizzly bear south of Grand Teton National Park earlier this week was not speeding and the bear's death was an accident, law enforcement officers said Friday.
The death of grizzly No. 399 on Tuesday night in the Snake River Canyon south of Jackson saddened tourists, wildlife biologists and amateur and professional photographers who for years studied and captured images of the bear and her many cubs and followed her comings and goings on social media sites.
