LOS ALAMOS, NM — A bear must have thought it was in heaven when it scored a ride atop a garbage truck in New Mexico.
The odd sighting was captured on video by volunteer firefighter Caleb Johnson, according to KOB's Caleb James.
No one was hurt in the incident, but multiple bear sightings in the area have residents on edge. A jogger was mauled by a bear in the area in June.

The garbage truck was riding along a mountain road when the bear hitched a ride.
Johnson filmed the bear’s joyride for about two minutes before the driver was alerted about the bear. The truck was brought to a stop by a tree, which the bear climbed onto, and the truck continued on its route.
