PLYMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - A woman’s newly purchased car was damaged when she struck a turkey while driving down a highway in Plymouth on Friday.
Troopers responding to the crash on Route 3 southbound near Exit 2 about 3:50 p.m. spoke with Jodi Johnston, who had just picked up her BMW from a used-car dealership when a turkey shattered the windshield.
“(It) just came out like a torpedo out of nowhere,” she said. “I saw him coming, but there was no time to say or do anything he just literally came right at me.”
Those who know Johnston are grateful she wasn’t injured and that the crash wasn’t worse.
“I’m glad she’s OK,” her friend, Kyle Pratt, said. “The car, yeah, that’s horrible. That’s got to be any driver’s worst nightmare.”
As for Johnston, it was a first drive that ended in a wild crash.
“I was a mile from the (Sagamore) Bridge,” she said. “I came from Rockland Auto Brokers, and (I was) loving the vehicle, and out of nowhere … just into the windshield.”
