A Norwegian driver who tried to avoid crashing into a moose hit a bear instead, a wildlife official said.
[snip]
The driver spotted the moose around midnight near Hanestad village and tried to steer around the animal, when a bear suddenly ran in front of his car.

In a way, it's sort-of too bad in a way, that bear couldn't catch the wounded buffalo, since wildlife officers shot the buffalo the next day.
If they left it after shooting it, then the bear likely got a piece of it later, I suppose. The buffalo ending up experiencing a less traumatic end, with predators and scavengers getting some free meals.

Bad Karma! The car itself wasn't much damaged. If it had hit the moose it would most likely have been much worse.
Article had no mention of the condition of the dogma.

The bear went over the mountain!

The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see!
And all that he could see

Was headlights.

actually, I’d rather hit a black bear than a moose.
A moose has a high center of gravity, so that when you hit him, his body goes through the window and kills you.
The bear just crumples the front of the car.

I've never had occasion to collide with either.
From what I hear about the moose, I do think you are correct.
