in which I couldn't save all of them (cw:animal death--turtle death as roadkill)

I had to take some library books back and there were turtles trying to cross the highway, so on the way back I stopped to get the first one across the highway, which caused traffic to accumulate behind me, so I pulled off and turned around to go back for the other two...

except that I pulled off into the turn for a side road to go after the second one, and, alas, doing so caused the box truck coming up behind me to pull further out into the road...

...and hit the turtle I was trying to save.

which I feel a bit like is my fault, seeing as the turtle was slightly to the other side of the line and the truck likely wouldn't have pulled out if I hadn't pulled over :'(

I did get to the third one though.
