On a typical Thursday night in south Sacramento County, a scene unfolded that might have surprised late-night commuters: a lone California Highway Patrol officer assisting an unexpected traveler in distress. CHP Officer Matthew Hang, in what became a rescue operation of a less usual kind, saved an injured owl perched precariously in the roadway. As reported by KCRA, Officer Hang spotted the bird, compromised by injury, standing in the westbound lane of Twin Cities Road at Bruceville Road.
