One of our readers shared this article with me the other day that was reported by Fox News. On May 6th, a motorcyclist was injured after colliding with a turkey on a central New York road.
Twenty-two year old Eric Cummis was on his way to work at 6:30am when a turkey flew in front of him crashing just above the front wheel. The motorcyclist lost control of the bike and slid off the road.
"The motorcyclist lost control of the bike and slid off the road."
Police say Cummis was taken to University Hospital in Syracuse with injuries that aren't life threatening.
It's good to know that Mr. Cummis will be okay, but scary to think that a turkey could put a life in danger. Anyone else ever have an experience like this with turkeys?
Last year my buddy's parents hit a turkey on the way home from a ski trip. It does happen every now and then.
That must have been a bit scary to say the least. I have seen them fly just overhead crossing the interstate before. The really are pretty big when you see them in the air.
