Snapping Turtle That Slowed NJ Turnpike Traffic Rescued By State Troopers Snapping Turtle That Slowed NJ Turnpike Traffic Rescued By State Troopers
Snapping Turtle That Slowed NJ Turnpike Traffic Rescued By State Troopers Traffic was crawling on the New Jersey Turnpike Friday -- as was the little guy causing the backup.  New Jersey State Troopers rescued a snapping turtle from the highway near Interchange 15W. "You just never know what’s causing a traffic delay—a broken down car, an accident, debris in the road, or maybe, just maybe, a tortoise," police said in a news release. "A couple of Troops made sure this guy was safely removed from the roadway before allowing traffic back into the lane."
