The driver ended up hitting the turkey, which caused it to come crashing through the car’s windshield. Pictures from the fire department show a busted front windshield and feathers all around the driver’s seat inside the car.
While the turkey didn’t survive the impact, the person driving sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital “in good spirits.”
The Garland Fire Department warned drivers to keep an eye out for wildlife when traveling as the temperatures get warmer. (Garland Fire Department)
“This is a great reminder to watch out for animals when traveling,” the department wrote. “Garland Fire has seen multiple vehicle accidents involving wildlife, including Elk & Moose, on this stretch of interstate. With the warmer weather approaching, we expect to see more sightings.”
