A turkey smashed right into a woman's car on Highway 50 in Lee's summit on Wednesday, leaving her with just minor injuries. She was cruising eastbound at highway speeds when the bird barreled across the median and burst through her driver's side window, landing straight in, her, lap. A driver nearby named Kylie Mullin spotted the whole crazy scene unfolding. The turkey had been flying low, missed Mullin's jeep, but nailed the other vehicle hard enough to shatter the glass. When hit the brakes, watch the car swerve to avoid a crash and quickly dial 911. The woman was pretty shaken up from the surprise attack, but first responders checked her out and confirmed only minor cuts. They helped deal with the mess inside the car, where the turkey ended up dead on the passenger side floorboard. Police logs show an officer offered to haul the bird away, but she straight up said no, she was keeping it. Turns out turkeys can fly faster and lower than most folks think. Holding everyone off guard at 60 miles per hour.

Highway drives just got a whole lot wilder stay alert out there, because wildlife don't send warnings. That wraps Kansas News today, brought to you with AI, I'm Corey with the story.
