A recent report from the National Transportation Safety Board reveals that the pilot of a plane that crashed at Sugar Valley Airport in Mocksville, North Carolina, had allegedly tried to avoid a turtle on the runway just before the tragic accident. The crash, which occurred during a go-around maneuver, resulted in the death of the pilot and one passenger, with the other passenger sustaining serious injuries.
