What began as a routine drive home from Target turned into a roadside rescue mission when Brooke spotted a turtle stranded in the middle of a busy street. With traffic looming and memories of past turtle tragedies fresh in her mind, her mom, Linda, sprang into action.

She darted from the car, scooped up the turtle, and that’s when nature struck back. The startled reptile began to pee mid-lift, causing Linda to slip, tumble.
Fortunately, the turtle was unharmed, landing safely and likely confused by the sudden turn of events.

Me and my mom were driving back from target going home. On the way home I noticed a turtle sitting in the middle of the road on a busy street and pointed it out. She told me to go move him but it was more convenient for her, considering the turtle was on her side. My mom took charge because she remembered how many turtles got ran over that year. She rushed out the car before incoming traffic came and the story goes from there .
