Wild Turkey Gives Ford F-150 Driver Face Full of Feathers
Just when you think you know every kind of danger that exists on our roads, here’s another you’ll want to be aware of!
It seems like these days, the simple act of driving anywhere requires razor sharp focus. Deer, distracted drivers, and random flying objects all threaten to make our routine grocery run a seriously bad day. But a Michigan man found out the hard way recently that it isn’t just the typical object or animal you’ve got to be on the look out for. According to Click on Detroit, his windshield (and face) sustained some damage after coming into contact with a roaming turkey!
The Dutton Fire Department responded to the aftermath, and decided to post pictures of the poor Ford F-150 (and turkey) as an important reminder. You see, spring is turkey season, which means they’re on the move. And if you happen to get close to one while driving, it isn’t exactly going to just sit there and take it. Turkeys instinctively try to fly away, meaning they’re going to be right around eye level. As this Ford F-150 driver found out the hard way.
Luckily, the driver only sustained minor “facial injuries.” The same cannot be said for the turkey, however. Judging by the photos, the aftermath looks a little like some kind of poultry horror movie gone wrong. And we certainly don’t envy the guy who gets tasked with cleaning out the interior of this truck!
So let this serve as an important reminder for everyone out tooling around this spring. Sure, you’ve got to watch out for the typical deer or texting teen driver. But you might also want to keep your eyes open for any sort of “fowl play” on your daily commute!
