Description:
Large ancient magnficent adult alive on road when first seen. I made a u-turn to photo, GPS and remove the turtle in front an oncoming truck, and as I was trying to flash headlights and point at the turtle, the driver was watching me and crushed the turtle. Wretched, and I here I was trying to save the animal from harm. N33.41124 W-102.81941
