As he got closer to investigate, he noticed that
she stopped for a turtle that was trying to cross the road.
“I think I get him without getting bit,” said Sgt. Brice Nihiser.
The state trooper managed to pick up and put him in the grassy area.
“I was a little nervous, I’m not going to lie,” Sgt Nihiser laughed.
OSHP said if anyone comes across something on the road that’s slowing them, call #677 to be connected to the nearest patrol post.
