I was going 50 mph on a road from Kennebunkport to Portland ME this Memorial Day weekend. I didn't see something on the road until very last second. And my right front tire went over it. The GF said it was a turtle crossing the road. I looked back but didn't turn back. I felt bad about it so I said a little prayer. Hope the turtle made it ok, although I can't imagine something surviving after getting hit by a 50 mph car.
Edit oh the GF said she saw the turtle's head and arms go back into its shell. Was it still alive? Last edited by CG76; 05-29-2010 at 08:13 AM.. |

I've been in a car which did that. Made a cracking-squishing sound. Sorry buddy, you killed Leonardo.

We should do a "RIP small Terrapin" thread.
I have hit a squirrel and a skunk but nothing larger, not even a deer. (knock on wood) |

Don't worry...there are more turtles. I've saved enough turtles to make up for the one you hit.

The huge snapping turtles are coming out onto the highway where I live, these things are like a foot in diameter, I doubt even they could survive a direct hit from a car. Considering that I've seen some smooshed ones this week.
Sorry buddy, you Squirtled the Turtle. |

I think a turtle is one of the few animals I haven't hit with a car. Oppossums, Racoons, Deer, Birds, almost hit an aligator once. Usually if I can, I'll swerve enough so that the animal goes between my tires. I then pray they stay still close to the ground. Typically I see them in the rearview running across the street. Saw that with a squirrel the other day. He looked flattened, then I saw his tail shoot straight up and he scurried off the road

True story, at the warehouse where I work I once trapped Splinter by the neck in a dockplate. Messed the F' up. One in a million shot.
