Goose freed, got stuck in pizza driver's car grille

BURLINGTON, Vt. -- Authorities say a goose for a while stuck in a pizza delivery driver's car grille is expected to make a full recovery. Driver Ryan Harrington said he saw a goose waddling across the road in Burlington on Saturday. He slammed his brakes, but heard a thud and knew he struck the bird. But he wasn't prepared to see it stuck in his car -- and alive -- when he returned to work. His manager got through to a police dispatcher who alerted authorities and an animal rescue group. The fire department arrived to help free the goose, named Roberto, or Roberta if it's a girl. The goose was taken to a wildlife rehabber in Poultney who said it may have a broken pelvis but is expected to survive.
