A wayward bear was safely removed from a Worcester roadway on Sunday morning.

According to State Police, they received a call around 8:15 a.m. for a black bear standing in the middle of McKeon Road over Route 146. Troopers from the Millbury barracks as well as Worcester officers and animal control quickly established a perimeter to contain the animal.

Massachusetts Environmental Police eventually got close enough to tranquilize the black bear and take a few photos.

The sedated bear was moved to a more suitable wooded area, away from cars and people.

“After a refreshing nap, the bear was released uninjured,” State Police wrote in a social media post.
