hawk.jpgGenerally, you figure if you hit a creature at 60MPH, it’s a goner. But one lucky red-tail hawk in Texas managed to survive just that! Of course, some patient Lexus techs also had a hand in this crazy story.

After an unidentified driver drove his GX 460 to Mike Whitehead’s shop, the mechanic and his co-workers were able to free the miraculously living bird from the grill. Attempts at flight proved unsuccessful, but according to a local vet, nothing is broken, and the bird should make a full recovery.
