A commuter spotted the brave calico weaving between cars on the A. Murray MacKay Bridge during rush hour. Franco lives in Elmsdale — over 40 km away. No one knows how he got there.

Franco was scooped up safely after drivers slowed to a crawl to protect him. He's now reunited with his very relieved family. Local rescuers are calling it 'one for the books.' Microchipping saved the day.
