This morning on 87 and Silk Hope, I saw a blue pickup with a trailer hit a box turtle trying to cross the road. If you can safely stop and pick the box turtle up to move it to the other side, that would respect nature. Big pickups have that stopping power, so please try to help the turtle out. We all should keep our eyes peeled for turtles crossing. We certainly are able to avoid dangerous litter to protect our tires so we are able to see the small round shape in the road.
