In an unusual event that drew national attention, a Georgia woman was surprised and shaken after a turtle unexpectedly crashed through her car windshield while she was driving through Savannah. The incident occurred in 2021 and has since served as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of highway travel and the importance of driver safety and awareness.
According to verified reports from CNN, NBC News, and USA Today, Latonya Lark was driving along Harry S. Truman Parkway when the incident took place. Sitting beside her in the passenger seat was her brother, Kevin Grant. What seemed to be an ordinary day quickly turned into an extraordinary experience when a turtle came airborne and struck their vehicle’s windshield with significant force.
