Turkey That Crashed Through Windshield Became Family Dinner
There are many places to get your Thanksgiving turkey, but one flying through your windshield isn’t usually one of them.
A Lubbock, Texas Wrecker driver had a very big surprise crash through his windshield on Thanksgiving morning—a turkey.Kameron Schrader makes a living helping people get out of difficult road situations as a Wrecker operator. Thanksgiving morning brought one straight into his lap…
“By the time I got stopped, I realized it was a big ol’ turkey,” Schrader said. “And then kind of started thinking about it being Thanksgiving, and it was kind of ironic.”
The 30-pound turkey had already passed away, and Schrader needed to decide what to do while he cleaned his truck in the cold.
His decision was to give it to a local family.
“A little family came out and I asked them if they could use it because obviously, there’s nothing I could do with it,” Schrader said. “They were pretty excited, it was a pretty good-sized turkey, so he took it up to the house and I guess they got a turkey dinner out of it.”

it’s true..
Turkeys can fly…
Not very high or very far..
But I have seen them ‘flying’ across the highway..

I’ve seen them on top of my neighbors roof. They have to be flying at some point.

They roost high up in trees, they got to get there somehow.
