Yup..moose are pretty dumb...their vision sucks too...
They will actually charge a car or truck running at highway speed if you honk your horn...they consider it to be another male in their mating territory, so the honk is a challenge.....they then drop their head and run like hell in the direction of the honk (decent hearing)....ready to headbutt to keep their ladies (cows) theirs...
And more folks are killed by moose than bears in Alaska every year...
Typically a person, aka a tourist, will see one...want to say hi to the pretty moose...moose gets scared/mad, and stomps/kicks the person, killing them....Or folks think they will move...hits the moose with the car at high speed....breaks their legs, by having the hood GO UNDER THE BODY.....roof gets torn off the car as the body strikes it...everybody looses their heads....
That having been said, the area I lived in Kenai AK had a juvenile "negiborhood" moose that woke me one night rubbing his nose on my window screen to itch it.....like some, this one had come to terms living near folks since winters were less harsh, and a young bull could not get any real territory in more wild areas....
