Orphaned opossums have wildlife rescue asking motorists to stay alert

Wings Rehabilitation Centre in Amherstburg says to keep alert when on the road because it could save an animals life. Right now the rescue is home to at least two cohorts of baby opossums. They were rescued from their mother's pouches after being found on the side of the road. In one case the mother was found dead and in another, she was put down. We spoke to wildlife coordinator at Wings about what to do if you come across a similar situation.
