Bald Eagle Hit By Car in Isabella County

A bald eagle was seriously injured after being hit by a car in Isabella County.

The eagle was hit Wednesday afternoon on East Remus Road in Union Township.

It limped off the road but was not able to fly.

It was transported to the Wildlife Recovery Association in Shepherd.

The eagle was examined by a vet Thursday morning in Midland and decided to put the bird down.

After further testing, the vet decided not to put the eagle down.

The Isabella County Sheriff says the eagle suffered paralysis, but does not appear to have a fractured back.

A veterinarian determined the eagle has a 50 percent chance of surviving.
