A swan was found walking on the central reservation of the E314 motorway in Maasmechelen this morning during rush hour. The Road Police were called to the scene but decided not to attempt to catch the bird directly, as it could potentially fly onto the road and cause an accident. Instead, staff from the Nature Help Center in Oudsbergen were brought in to safely capture the swan. The swan was caught around 7:45 AM and taken to the center. It is believed the swan had flown over from the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal and suffered minor injuries, likely from being hit by a vehicle on the highway.
