Virginia State Police said one of their troopers rescued a red-tailed hawk along I-64 this week.
Troopers received a call on Tuesday saying the raptor had been caught in wires in Alleghany County.
State Police said troopers were able to rescue the bird and put it in a carrier. They took it to the Wildlife Center of Virginia where it was being treated.
It will eventually be released back to Alleghany County, officials said.
