Mountain lion killed near Cambria after being hit by a car.

A mountain lion that tangled with a small sedan Monday afternoon near Cambria was euthanized by a California Department of Fish and Wildlife official.

Fish and Wildlife Lt. Todd Tognazzini confirmed the “young-of- the-year” female sustained multiple fractures of a hind leg in the collision; she also was bleeding through the nose and appeared to be in pain, mortal wounds that led to the decision to euthanize the animal, he said.
