BOX ELDER COUNTY — A driver was injured after a turkey flew through the window of a vehicle traveling on I-15, Saturday evening.
The Garland Fire Department said that there are plenty of dangers when traveling at high speeds down the interstate, including turkeys.
Crews responded to reports of a car crash on northbound I-15 just before the 385 exit.
A driver hit a turkey crossing the interstate. The turkey went through the windshield, injuring the driver.
The driver was transported to an area hospital “in good spirits” and with non-life-threatening injuries.
The fire department said this is a great reminder to watch out for animals when traveling. Emergency crews have seen multiple vehicle accidents involving wildlife, including Elk & Moose, on this stretch of interstate. With the warmer weather approaching, they expect to see more sightings.
