Police hop to it, corral kangaroo
PASCO, Wash. -- Startled drivers weren't seeing things -- it really was a kangaroo hopping down the highway in Washington state.
The meandering marsupial nearly caused a couple of accidents Saturday and police responded, keeping the kangaroo off the road while its owner caught it with help from friends. The man also owns a zebra.
