According to the St. Lucie County Fire District, a tractor trailer kicked up a turtle on the highway, sending it airborne.

The turtle then smashed through the front windshield of a car.

The good news is neither the turtle nor the driver was hurt.

Crews released the turtle to a more familiar environment.
