    Coming in to Montreal near Deux-Montagnes, I was in the outerlane, ready to overtake some guy pulling a dry-box. I suddenly noticed way ahead something in in his lane, , I backed off, a second later I realized it s a live turtle and the semi can t change lane with cars on both sides.

    He barely swerved to try his best to avoid it, the turtle pulled in all 4 legs and head in it s shell. The trailer just barely caught the shell and pinched the turtle the way you would a poker chip with another chip and the one on the table flies up in the air.

    The turtle was ejected, right passed the front car's windshield, at a 45 degree angle at rocket speed and made a good 50 feet up in the air, and even stuck out it's legs and head out again as if in control of the flight (probably from the pain) until it landed in the swampy middle of the ditch to the left.


    I gave it a 9.9 as the landing made a bit of a splash.
