It was not immediately known if Kervin was wearing a helmet.

Was the turtle wearing a helmet?

Wait, never mind, what am I asking? Of course the turtle was wearing a helmet...

Montes recalled a crash involving a turtle that was struck while attempting to cross a busy stretch of Interstate 4 in Volusia County. "Somehow, the driver clipped the turtle at such an angle that it tossed the turtle into the windshield of another car," Montes said.

Do we need to start registering turtles?

Glad the turtle is OK. I hate people who run over animals.

Motorized bicycle.

Turtle crossing the road.

The newspaper doesn’t know if the guy was 45 or 51.

What is the lesson we can learn from this tragedy?

Years ago, I was out on the road bike when a 6 foot long rattlesnake went across the road RIGHT in front of me. Damn glad I didn’t hit that.

The picture accompanying the story isn’t that of a box turtle. If you place a box turtle into water that is more than a few inches deep, the box turtle can actually drown. They are land creatures, and are poor swimmers.

It may not have been a true turtle. Perhaps it was one of these:

Every time I see a box turtle in the road, I stop and bring it in my car and take it home, where I release it. I have 32 acres. I’m hoping to start a box turtle attraction as long as they all stay nearby.

We’ll see how it works out.

(I’m kidding)

So he had been lying there dead for a period of time and possibly hit by another vehicle?

This is kinda F’ed up.
Like maybe the 2nd vehicle is the one that caused him to dump the Moped and a turtle just happened to be in the area just as the Key West Bar on A1A is also in the area and closes at 2 AM.

IH PD blew this one

Bicycles kill. When will lawmakers outlaw these dangerous vehicles? Why are there never lawsuits to force safety requirements on bicycle makers?
