One eagle became a showstopper yesterday morning, unintentionally bringing together a cavalry of emergency workers, police officers and a wildlife rehabilitator.

Police and firefighters arrived on the scene to respond to a female eagle sitting in the middle of a major roadway near a mall in Clearwater, Florida.

As it turns out, the eagle had been hit by a car while trying to feed off a dead animal.

Left with an injured wing, the bird was unable to fly, leaving her stranded on the road until help arrived .

After traffic was stopped, the eagle was picked up and taken to Busch Gardens, a theme park which also features a zoo, for treatment.

When the eagle is strong and healthy enough once more, she'll be released back into the same area where she was found.

A recent photo of the eagle shared on Facebook by the Clearwater Police Department (CPD) showed the eagle sporting a stylish wing sling.

"She looks much better here than she does stranded in the middle of Countryside Boulevard," CPD wrote on Facebook.
