Question: Geometry: Why does it not find an intersection point

Question:Geometry: Why does it not find an intersection point

THis is part of the code I used in the geometry package:

with(geometry):

circle(c,50811.89143+x^2+y^2-61.91881776*x-446.5619114*y = 0);

line(l,1621.451347-0.1838809e-1*x-7.2593834*y = 0):                               

draw([c,l]);
intersection(X,c,l,[F1,F2]);

ntersection: there is no point of intersection

While the plot clearly shows two intersection points, Maple gives a warning that there is no point of intersection.

Why is that?
