Highway shut down to save a swan with a broken leg

A swan was rescued on the A50 on Wednesday morning. Northbound traffic was temporarily halted for the animal that could no longer get out of the median strip.

The swan was injured in the leg and could not get away on its own. At the request of Rijkswaterstaat, the animal ambulance came to help get the animal out of there.

Animal control staff managed to capture the swan. The animal has been taken to the shelter. After recovery, the swan is released back into nature.
