This was the adorable moment a family of bears including a mother and four cubs dashed across a West Virginia road on June 11.

Dashcam footage shows the mother quickly evade the oncoming traffic while an initial trio dash closely behind her leaving a straggler behind the rest.

The driver on the back roads of Union, Monroe County was on autopilot in their Tesla but said: "As soon as I saw the bear I hit the breaks and took over."
