The tragedy unfolded in front of neighbors who applauded Rivara's kind efforts, a 12-year-old boy told NBC Sacramento affiliate KCRA.
“He got out of the car and was shooing the ducks and everyone was clapping because he was being really nice," the boy said. “He helped them get up over the curb because all the little baby duckies were having trouble and then he walked in front of our car."
I see the same shit all the time with turtles crossing the road. Dumb shits will stop in the middle of the road.
That said I did find a safe spot to pull over and retrieve a 50#+ Snapping Turtle a couple years ago. I put it in the back of my PU and drove it to a storm water drainage pond across the road from my house to keep the geese down.
