THE 2016 turtle nesting season has started on a sour noted.

One of the island’s Hawksbill turtles was killed when a 4×4 driver drove over it as it wandered into the road by the Fish Pot Restaurant, in Speightstown, St Peter. The driver did not stop.

The turtle was almost crushed; its shell was cracked until one of the eggs she was carrying oozed out. She struggled to breathe for a least half-hour but eventually succumbed to her injuries. (HLE)
