ELKO, Nev. (AP) - A Florida truck driver got an unexpected passenger when an eagle busted through the windshield of his semitrailer on Interstate 80 in northeast Nevada. Matthew Roberto Gonzalez of Opalocka, Fla., reported to the Nevada Highway Patrol Monday afternoon that he had just struck an eagle while driving westbound on I-80 near Wells, about 100 miles west of the Nevada-Utah line.
Trooper Jim Stewart said the eagle hit the passenger side of the windshield and entered the cab.
Stewart said neither the 38-year-old driver nor his 45-year-old passenger Darryl Young of Miami were hurt. He said the eagle appeared to be alive shortly after the incident but he didn't know if it later succumbed to its injuries.
