Sheriff David Lucas said the incident occurred along Ohio 147 near Jacobsburg. Baker and Kulpa managed to restrain the bird’s talons and wings before transporting it to a rescue facility, but Lucas said Monday that he learned the animal had internal injuries from the collision and did not survive. Efforts to reach Baker Monday for more information were unsuccessful.
