MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV) -- The Monterey CHP rescued a hawk Wednesday in the median of Highway 1 near Marina.

They said that the hawk was unable to fly and appeared injured.

With help, the CHP says that the hawk was able to occupy the patrol vehicle without any problems. The hawk was then transported to the SPCA for medical treatment, according to the CHP.

The CHP is hoping that the hawk can return to the skies "to soar over our freeways rather than walking on them in short time," they said.

I’ve been an international professional writer and performer for over 25 years. With a background in journalism, creative writing, dance and aerial, I find the intersection between all of these skills lands itself somewhere under the term “storytelling.”
