ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. (CNN) - Florida drivers might be used to bugs on their cars, but not turtles!
The Saint Lucie Fire Department said a flying turtle caused an accident on the Florida Turnpike on Friday.
A semi-truck nicked the animal, causing it to go into the air - and into the windshield of a nearby car.
Both the turtle and driver were not injured, and the turtle was released safely back into the wild.
