A Vulture stopped me on the road

So, to give the context I was driving to a city 2 hours away from my home and the shortest path is through mountains.

I was surprised by the snow but, apparently I was not the only one. From afar I saw this big geese-like bird jumping on the road but realized when it tried to take off that it looked much bigger.

As I got closer I realized that it was probably a Vulture. The closest match I could find is the griffon Vulture, there is some in the area.

It did not look hurt, it was trying to fly but could not take off.
