VANCOUVER Mounties in Clinton, B.C., rescued a large hawk caught in the grill of a woman’s pickup truck last week. Last Friday, the woman pulled into the small detachment, which is northwest of Kamloops, to ask for help, Mounties said in a news release Tuesday. Police say the woman told officers that the big bird had flown out of a ditch and right into her path on Highway 97, south of Clinton. “Somehow the massive hawk managed to get trapped in behind the front grill of the woman’s Toyota Tundra,” says Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. The bird was unable to escape by itself, say police. That’s when the RCMP came to the rescue.

SHARE ON: RCMP cruiser (supplied by the RCMP)
Clinton RCMP and residents are showing they’re in the giving mood, and ‘crammed the cruiser’ over the weekend.
In collaboration with the Elizabeth Fry Foundation, Clinton RCMP raised approximately 1160 pounds of food, 400 toys, and $4,300 for the Clinton Food Bank.
Const. Marika Masters says the food has already been distributed, but the Clinton Food Bank is seeking more families to distribute toys for kids in need.
“We’re really pleased with the generosity of our small community”, Masters says, “We’re hoping it will have a really positive impact on so many families this holiday season”.
