Webster told a local news station that he was heading back to his dorm at Fishing Bridge when he turned a corner and saw the animal in the road.

"Usually, I just stop and wait for them to continue on their way," Webster said. "Pulling up to this one, he already seemed a bit agitated, so I figured I’d wait."

The video shows Webster waiting in the middle of the road as the bison turns and begins moving toward his truck.

The animal stops in the middle of the road and looks around before suddenly charging the vehicle and running off.

"I didn’t want to turn my headlights off because I was in the middle of the road, and I wanted to see him when he eventually walked away," Webster said. "Next thing I know, he charged at me. Luckily, all he damaged was the side marker of my headlight and a dent in the fender."
