LSW Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 From the local Radio, KINY A vehicle traveling on Egan Drive late this morning in the area of Twin Lakes had an encounter with a bald eagle. Police Sergeant Steve Hernandez says they were told by those involved and others at the scene that the eagle was flying too low and struck the windshield of a van. It appeared the eagle's right wing was broken. Police were told it struggled across the highway and made it into the Twin Lakes area. A Juneau Raptor Center volunteer happened to be in the area and took charge of the scene, according to the sergeant. The eagle was brought up to the road where it was turned over to another raptor center representative. The eagle got the worse of the encounter. Sergeant Hernandez says they could find no damage to the van. And no one in the van was injured. Only in Alaska! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
