It was reopened later in the day, with the moose still lounging there. They just asked people to let him be.
The moose often graces the town with his company. They think that a heating element under the sidewalk made him particularly comfortable in the spot.

Rolled over the hood, broke through the windshield and pooped in her lap.
That's actually not too bad considering that if often kills the people in the front seat.
