Firefighters responded and safely freed the barred owl from the rack where it was stuck. They said once it was free, it quickly flew off and appeared to be OK.
“Quite certain that both motorist and owl were a little stunned by the whole experience, but just thankful we were able to help,” the department posted on Facebook.
