Freeway, the beloved Californian rescue sea lion that would roam around San Diego, has died, SeaWorld San Diego has announced.
Last January, Freeway surprised drivers after he found himself on a busy freeway by taking State Route 94 and then nearly reaching Interstate 805, NBC reported.
A rescue team from SeaWorld San Diego rescued Freeway, who was estimated to weigh around 200lbs, via nets and transported him to SeaWorld San Diego Rescue Center for a health assessment and rehabilitation.
According to the park, Freeway had a history of sojourning across San Diego. During his life, he was found at multiple locations across the city including Naval Base Point Loma, on the Mission Beach boardwalk and near a deli close to Mission Bay.
Rare artifacts will be featured in the "Give Me Liberty" exhibit at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture in Richmond to commemorate America's upcoming 250th anniversary.
