Turtle smashes into car near Lake Busbee in Conway



CONWAY, SC: Have you ever heard about a flying turtle. If not, this is the perfect news. One man’s car got hit by a turtle that was flying through the air after another vehicle’s tire smacked the turtle into the air.

He says stuff like this never happens to him, but it happened around around 4:30 p.m., while he was driving into work down Highway 501 in Conway, near Lake Busbee.

“I still don’t understand how it, like, the exact angle of that tire, for it to just fling into my windshield,” said John Gardner, who’s windshield is now shattered from where the tortoise hit.

The rear tire on a truck near him on the road hit a turtle, flinging it into Gardner’s windshield.

“Yeah, I was definitely surprised, because like, I couldn’t even tell what it was at first because it’s like, I guess just a big, black dot coming at me, and it’s like, I couldn’t move at all really,” he said. “So, I was just like, oh okay. I hope it’s not too bad.” (Agencies)
