Found this hawk in the middle of the road unable to move. Couldn't get anyone to come and pick him up including the police. But they did bring me a box. So the hawk and I took a trip to the nearest bit of civilization. There he(/she?) had some water, and then flew into a tree!
Now wondering if he actually needed my help, or just wanted a taste of life on tour…

Thanks for being kind to wildlife. Poor hawk. Needed some love.
Hawks and other birds of prey are opportunistic eaters and sometimes engorge themselves enough that flight becomes difficult. The good news is that this particular hawk likely interpreted your helpful actions positively, and they will remember you forever for that, just in case you are ever in the area again and need a hawk friend/ally.
