Turtle causes Parkway wreck, then dies
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 06/20/07

UPPER TOWNSHIP "? Why did the turtle cross the road?

We'll never know, but it sure caused one heck of an accident.

A woman who swerved to avoid hitting the reptile as it crawled across the northbound lanes of the Garden State Parkway Tuesday afternoon lost control of her car, crashed through a guardrail and tumbled down an embankment before the car flipped over onto its roof.

Saranne Goldinger, 65, of Cape May, was wearing a seat belt and was not critically injured, State Police said. Her car, however, was heavily damaged.

The turtle fared even worse. A vehicle that had been driving behind Goldinger flattened the critter.

""All of that for nothing,'' Trooper Scott Farkas told The Press of Atlantic City for Wednesday's newspapers.

My sister did the same thing last year. Except she was knocked out and found maybe an hour later in the woods by someone driving by.

I've been seeing a lot of turtles on the roads lately. Maybe a population explosion.
