A 71-year-old woman and her daughter were riding on I95 in Daytona beach, when she was struck in the head by a turtle on Wednesday.

The Orlando Sentinel reports that the turtle actually flew through their windshield slamming right into her head. Her daughter, who was driving, was able to get assistance from someone passing by and called 911.

The wound on the woman's head did cause a large amount of bleeding, but she was able to be treated and released with only minor injuries.

Authorities believe that the turtle had been crossing the road and got launched into the air after being hit by another vehicle.

Oh, and what about the turtle? Well, it’s doing okay as well, and was able to escape with a couple scratches on its shell.
