Mr. Yang, a worker who found the turtle falling from a high altitude, said that when he was passing through the ditch on the side of the road, he suddenly heard a crackling sound and turned his head to see two turtles falling from a high place, one fell on the slow lane of the road and the other fell on the pedestrian. road.
He originally wanted to pick up the one on the road, but was stopped by a passer-by who said it was a witness and he could not move. Just as he was hesitating, a bus drove up and ran over the turtle to death.
Staff from the Society for the Protection of Animals arrived at the scene to take away the surviving tortoise for inspection. The police went upstairs to look for the owner, and later arrested a man suspected of cruelty to animals.
During the investigation, the on-site bus stop was closed, and the bus had to stop at a slightly earlier location to pick up and drop off passengers.
