This happened near Truckee, CA.



A bear was walking across Rainbow Bridge (Old Hwy 40 at Donner Summit, (Truckee) when two cars also crossing the bridge scared the bear
into jumping over the edge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught the ledge and was able to pull itself to safety. Authorities decided that
nothing could be done to help Saturday night so they returned Sunday morning to find the bear sound asleep on the ledge. After securing a net
under the bridge the bear was tranquilized, fell into the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of the net.

yes, I am without a pun, but quite comical. Damn thing was strong though, able to pull itself to safety like that. Caught a lucky break.

I doubt it would have been discovered unless they called them in. He wouldn't have been seen by those bearing down on the bridge.
