Found the info on it

A bear was walking across Rainbow
Bridge (Old Hwy 40 at Donner Summit, **Truckee**) on
Saturday when two cars also crossing the bridge scared the bear into
jumping over the edge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught the ledge
and was able to pull itself to safety. At one point the bear tested its
ability to climb down by lowering its feet down the side but decided
against that idea and pulled itself back up! Authorities decided that
nothing could be done to help Saturday night so they returned Sunday
morning to find the bear sound asleep on the ledge. After securing a
net under the bridge the bear was tranquilized, fell into the net,
lowered, then woke up and walked out of the net.

Sounds like a good story to me. Lets run with it.

I Googled Donner Summit and came up with a picture of the same bridge.
Apparently it is in California.
