LEVANT, Maine (AP) — A woman driving on a rural road in Levant is OK with only minor injuries after rolling her car over when she swerved to avoid a turtle.
Maine State Police tell the Bangor Daily News that 21-year-old Ashley Savoy of Levant spotted the turtle on Horseback Road early Sunday morning. Police say she swerved, lost control of her car and rolled over.
Savoy got a scrape on her hand and did not require a trip to the hospital. The vehicle’s back window was smashed. The turtle got away.
Turtles in roadways are common at this time of the year as females migrate to nesting areas. During this time, turtles often cross roads.
