Well, I met the couple that found the owl. It's a great horned owl and it's in pretty rough shape. I took it right to the vet clinic and was fortunate to just catch the vet doing night rounds. The doc gave the owl a Capstar for maggots/hippoboscids, a steroid for trauma, and an antibiotic. If it survives 'til the morning I think it will have a fighting chance. If it doesn't survive, at least it will die in a warm, dry location rather than flattened on a rainy back road.

What's the update on the owl? Did it make it or still touch and go?

@Insectra Poor thing

@Insectra Whenever i do a trip there is always at least one bird or animal dead on the road....not from my driving.

@Insectra With the size of the trucks it is often hard to distinguish fox, dog, dingo, wombat. And birds are often just a pile of feathers in strawberry jam.

Just knowing that it is being cared for might help it survive. Thanks for being so good.

Poor thing! So glad you could bring it in.

I agree being warm and dry is way better than the alternative.
