NORMAN, Okla. -- (WJW) -- One Oklahoma owl got a new lease on life earlier in the week as it was rescued from the side of a highway by a police sergeant.

Sgt. Darin Morgan came across the wide-eyed bird on the side of Interstate 35 in Norman, Oklahoma. After wrapping her up in a blanket and tucking her snugly into a backpack, Sgt. Morgan let the little girl ride shotgun to WildCare Okalahoma for some medical attention (wearing a seatbelt, of course).
