GARLAND, Utah — A wild turkey smashed through the windshield of a car traveling on Interstate 15 in this town near the Idaho-Utah border on Saturday, sending the driver to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The incident occurred on Interstate 15 northbound near exit 385. The driver, whose name hasn’t been released, was in good spirits following the collision, according to the Garland Fire Department, but the turkey was dead on the scene.
“There are plenty of dangers when traveling at high speeds down the interstate, including turkeys,” the Fire Department stated.
The Fire Department is encouraging drivers to practice caution and keep an eye out for wildlife, particularly with warmer weather approaching.
“This is a great reminder to watch out for animals when traveling,” the department said. “Garland Fire has seen multiple vehicle accidents involving wildlife, including elk and moose, on this stretch of interstate.”
