The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on I-95 near Mile Marker 88, according to the report filed by a State Highway Patrol trooper.
The driver was alone in the car when the incident occurred and did not report any injuries, according to authorities.
John Gardner said the rear tire on a truck near him hit the turtle Tuesday afternoon on U.S. Highway 501 near Conway and flung the reptile into his windshield.
He says he had no time to react to what was just a "big, black dot coming at me."
WBTW-TV reported the impact was so severe that it killed the turtle.
