Florida Stays Weird: Turtle Hurls Through Car Windshield On Highway

This turtle crashed through the windshield of a car in 
Florida. A woman was injured, but the turtle only
suffered a scratched shell.

We all hate it when something flies up on the highway and dings or cracks our windshields.

It's even scarier if you're unlucky enough to have something crash through the window as you're driving.   

And the thought of that object crashing through the windshield being a turtle is just absurd. 

But that's exactly what happened in Florida recently.  Because, as we all know, weird news always gets generated from Florida. 

According to the Daytona News Journal, describing the incident on Interstate 95 in Port Orange, Florida:

"The 71-year-old woman, a passenger in the vehicle, suffered a half-inch to an inch cut above one of her eyes but did not lose consciousness Port Orange police spokesman Officer Andre Fleming said late Wednesday."

Authorities said the woman is going to be fine. Speculation is another car hit the turtle, launching it though the air and into the windshield of this woman's car.

Happier news: The turtle that crashed through the windshield is probably OK, too. It just suffered a few scratches on its shell.  

Even stranger news: This isn't the first time a turtle has crashed through a windshield of a car traveling down a highway. The same thing happened in Florida in 2016. In that case, the turtle died, but the people in the car were OK.
