SAN DIEGO—A sea lion that may have lost its bearings or been struck by wanderlust roamed onto the freeway Jan. 7, stopping traffic while concerned motorists, California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers, and SeaWorld personnel rescued the wayward aquatic animal.
The errant sea mammal appeared on the eastbound side of State Route 94 in the Stockton area, about three miles from San Diego Bay and eight miles from the ocean—shortly after 9:30 a.m., Highway Patrol Officer Jim Bettencourt said.
