'Bear Grylls' survives 100kph impact with car, gets wedged above vehicle's bumper [abc.net.au]
A koala has been affectionately dubbed "Bear Grylls" after it became wedged in the grille of a vehicle travelling 100 kilometres per hour in the Adelaide Hills.
The koala was hit on the South Eastern Freeway and remained stuck until the driver arrived home some ten kilometres down the road.
Driver Loren Davis said she hit the koala just after the Bridgewater exit heading to Mount Barker, where it was dark "with no street lights".
"I didn't see the koala until my headlights found it but I couldn't change lanes because another car was there [on the inside lane].
"I slammed my brakes on but another car was behind me, so there was no choice but to hit the koala."
Ms Davis said she pulled over after both cars had passed but could not see the koala in the dark.
"I drove home, feeling upset that I'd killed a koala.
"Once I got home and pulled into the garage I turned on the light to see the damage.
"I turned around, saw a koala and just screamed."
