TEMPLTETON, MA — If you have to be stuck in traffic for 30 minutes, it helps when the problem causing your delay is at least cute.

Such was the case Thursday morning, when Route 2 was shut down in both directions Templeton as state environmental police removed a mother bear and her cubs from a den they made in the median.

The mother bear had to be tranquilized, but state police said the bear family was safely brought to a nearby state forest.
