Injured eagle looked like it was hit by car, but the truth was ‘even worse,’ veterinarian says.

The golden eagle was severely injured when it was found along the side of a road in Pittsburg, California, earlier this month.

Two bones in the bird’s right wing were shattered, leaving the bird scarcely able to move.

After a member of the public spotted the bird in a relatively remote area, local animal control took the eagle to Walnut Creek’s Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital. That’s where veterinarians at first suspected a car had struck the wounded animal.
