It probably flew up in front of the car. I had one do it once, but it glanced off of the antenna and didn't do any damage. My son hit one and it took out his front fender. They are moving a lot more right now. I hadn't seen any for several months and looked out window yesterday to see 20 of them in the yard. I see them along the roads here on a daily basis.
That nearly happened to me about ten years ago, when I was driving my service truck through western Kentucky.
Two or three of them swooped in low in a curving flight mere feet in front of my windshield, close enough that I got on the brakes to avoid a strike.
Too bad that big gobbler won't be fit to eat.
I just saw this in the paper. And a rental car too boot. That sucks!...
I drove past a field this morning that had at least 60 turkeys in it. Toms were all out there strutting around for the girls...looking all hot and sexy for them.
I saw one run across the road so slowed down expecting more, but apparently he was the last one in the bunch.
