As it turned out, the helpless creature was a lost kitten trapped right in the middle of oncoming traffic.
The poor little thing was in severe danger, so the driver decided to step in and save her.
A dramatic rescue
Fortunately, the motorist managed to help her without putting himself in harm's way. He quickly brought the tiny kitten to the Animal Rescue League of Boston shelter, where staff took over. A thorough check-up revealed that she was a female kitten, roughly seven weeks old.
Rescuers decided to name her Freeway as a nod to where she was found. Without the driver's quick thinking, her ordeal on the busy road could have ended very tragically...
A fresh start
Since her rescue, little Freeway has been placed in the loving care of a foster volunteer with the charity. She is not up for adoption just yet, but her profile will be published on the Animal Rescue League of Boston website once she is ready to find her forever home.
For now, Freeway is relaxing and enjoying life in her cosy foster home. Nobody knows how this tiny kitten ended up on the motorway in the first place. But one thing is for sure: Freeway now has a bright future ahead of her, filled with warmth and peace.
