Large tortoise rescued from Arizona highway after escaping from ostrich ranch 3 miles away
PICACHO, Ariz. (AP) — How long does it take a large tortoise to get to the other side of a southern Arizona highway?
It’s still a mystery, after a state Department of Public Safety trooper recently helped rescue an escaped sulcata tortoise that was attempting to cross Interstate 10 near Picacho.
A motorist contacted authorities on July 30 to report a tortoise trying to cross the busy highway that's halfway between Casa Grande and Tucson in Pinal County.
The motorist and DPS Sgt. Steven Sekrecki managed to get the tortoise off the roadway unharmed.
