A Washington State Department of Transportation road crew member reprioritized his immediate duties when a mother bear became separated from her cub on Blewett Pass on Monday afternoon. WSDOT officials say the worker noticed that the highway was separating the mama bear from her cub and quickly pulled onto the shoulder activating his truck-mounted message board warning traffic to slow down, allowing the momma and baby bear to catch up to one another and continue their way up the mountains.
