Officials in a Maryland county said a bald eagle was lucky to avoid serious injuries when it collided with a car and ended up with its backside stuck in the front grille.
The Calvert County Government said in a Facebook post that an animal control officer and personnel from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office responded when a driver collided with a bald eagle on Route 4. Advertisement
“When the driver stopped, they realized that the eagle was still alive, but trapped in the vehicle’s [grille],” the post said.
The animal control officer was able to carefully extract the eagle with help from deputies.
“After a thorough examination, all were relieved to find the bird seemed to be in good health and was quickly released back into the wild,” the post said.
