A Florida Highway Patrol trooper helped an injured bald eagle stuck on a busy highway. Dashcam video shows the officer confronting the eagle on the Florida Turnpike. It reportedly hit the windshield of a car and was just standing there in shock when the officer arrived. He wanted to keep it safe until wildlife officials could come and take it away. At first the eagle resisted, but it eventually let the officer carry it to his patrol car where they waited for the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey.
