BLOOMINGTON, IN – A cat was attempting to cross the road when it was struck and killed by a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado.

The black cat was on its way to cross paths of Halloween revelers to carry out the responsibility of imparting onto the unwitting targets years of bad luck.

“Yeah, it was pretty bad,” said witness Raymond Radford. “Little guy was definitely in his element and didn’t even see the truck coming.”

It is an urban legend that whomever has a black cat walk directly in the path of travel will suffer from lost job opportunities, failed relationships, and health issues such as toe fungus.

“It’s an old wive’s tale,” said IU folklore professor Henrietta Gomez. “If one does encounter a black cat, there should be no fear of any future adverse outcomes.”

The driver of the truck admitted to killing the cat, hinting that he even accelerated in order avoid the path crossing and years of poor fortune.
