A bear walking across Rainbow Bridge (Old Hwy. 40 at Donner Summit in Truckee, Calif.) on Saturday was spooked when two cars caused the bear to jump over the edge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught the ledge and was able to pull herself to safety. At one point the bear tested her ability to climb down by lowering her feet down the side, but decided against that idea and pulled herself back up! Authorities realizing that nothing could be done to help Saturday night, returned Sunday morning to find her sound asleep on the ledge. After securing a net under the bridge, the bear was tranquilized. The groggy bear fell into the net, was lowered, then woke up and walked off.
