A majestic bird normally seen soaring the skies got caught up in speeding traffic.

A bald eagle was hit by a car on Highway 101 in Plymouth Wednesday. Erin Moser’s amazement over what she saw is understandable.

“At first I was like, ‘Wow, this must have been a really bad accident, there’s like stuff on the road.’ And then all of a sudden like. ‘This is an eagle!’ I mean, it’s like sitting there, huge,” Moser said. “But then at the same time you’re like I really don’t want to be seeing this because it seems really sad.”
