In the same area, a 13-month-old girl almost drowned in a canal last year after her aunt swerved to avoid an unidentified, low-flying bird.

The problem here was the driver, not the bird.

One thing to consider is the size of a vulture. They are huge birds and can have up to a five foot wing span. They can easily break a windhsield or spread their wings in front of the windshield blinding the driver.

I had this happen to me last year, and I went into the ditch simply because the vulture totally blocked my field of vision when he spread his wings in front of my windshield.
