A kitten was saved on Highway 85 in San Jose Wednesday afternoon.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- It was a team effort stopping traffic to save a kitten in the South Bay.

Two kittens were spotted running between lanes on Highway 85 between De Anza and Stevens Creek Boulevards Wednesday afternoon.

One didn't make it, but the other wedged herself inside a tire after a driver pulled over to help.

Multiple drivers, CHP officers, and a tow truck driver all worked together to get the kitten out.
