A Westfield man survived a car accident with a moose on the Massachusetts Turnpike in Brimfield early this morning, State Police said.

Alan Cook was driving a Ford pickup truck at around 4 a.m. when a moose walked into the highway, said Lieutenant David Wilson, a State Police spokesman. Cook hit the animal and killed it.

Cook's truck was damaged, but he was not hurt in the accident, Wilson said.
