INCREDIBLE: 'Flying' turtle smashes into car windshield in freak accident

-

A woman in Georgia was left shell shocked when a turtle went flying across the highway and through her windshield, nearly striking her passenger in the face. Latonya Lark was driving along Harry S. Truman Parkway in Savannah with her brother, Kevin Grant, recenly to run a few errands. In a split second, the pair found themselves face to face with an unlucky turtle. "I saw out of the corner of my eye what I thought was a brick," Lark told CNN. "I told my brother, 'Oh my God there's a brick flying across the highway.' No sooner than I said that, it impacted my vehicle. It scared me so bad, it sounded like a bomb went off and glass went all over my brother."If she hadn't slowed down when she did, the turtle may have gone entirely through the windshield and hit her brother in the face, "probably decapitati­ng him," the small business owner said. Fortunatel­y, Grant only suffered from minor cuts from the broken glass. The turtle, however, was met with a much more unfortunat­e fate: it died.
