NEWFIELDS, N.H. — A New Hampshire woman who stopped in a highway median to help some stranded ducklings plans to fight a ticket from state police.
Hallie Bibeau of Newfields tells WMUR-TV she was driving east on Route 101 by exit 8 on Friday when she had to slam on her brakes and pull over to avoid hitting the ducklings. She said she saw their mother and several of the ducklings hit by a car. The mother died.
The 33-year-old Bibeau called 911, got out of her car and captured the two surviving ducklings.
A state trooper issued Bibeau a $100 ticket for stopping in the median, a prohibited area.
Officials say the ducklings were taken to a wildlife rescue in Maine, where one of them died.
