Same birthday but a different Florida Man
Florida Man Caught Running Over Tortoise at School is a Street Crossing Guard
The driver of the vehicle slows down, and then comes to a complete stop as the tortoise crosses the roadway. The driver waits for the tortoise to crawl in front of the vehicle, and then accelerates, running over the animal with the vehicle’s left front tire. The vehicle then continues through the bus circle and exits southbound onto San Helen Drive. In Florida the Gopher Tortoise is listed as threatened a species. Both the tortoise and its burrow are protected under state law.
