Troopers Rescue Bear Cub from Interstate

0:00It's April 5th. This is Birmingham News today, powered by AI. State troopers in northern New Jersey pulled off a wild rescue this week, saving a lone bear cub from a ditch right along a busy interstate. It happened on Interstate 78 Eastbound in Union Township, and milepost 12.2, shortly before 140 p.m. on Wednesday. Troopers from the Perryville station got the call and rushed over fast. They secured the little guy safely and brought him back to their barracks without any drama. Folks are buzzing about how highways like this turn into danger zones for wildlife, especially young bears wandering too close to traffic. No one got hurt, but it shows why quick action from first responders matters big time. The cub got handed off to the state's Environmental Protection Department staff, who are looking after it now. Still no word on its exact condition as of Friday. We'll see what updates come from the wildlife crew, hoping that cub gets back to the woods strong and steady.
