A North Carolina couple were driving over a bridge when they happened to spot a “strange creature” sitting close to the edge of the bridge’s side railing, so they drove back around. When they got a closer look at the animal, they realized what it was and successfully rescued it from a fatal drop.
On the night of June 23, 2017, Markus Heyder and Erin Hutchko were traveling across the 3-mile-long Wright Memorial Bridge in North Carolina. Heyder was behind the wheel, while Hutchko was fixed on the bridge’s side railing.
