TURKEY EXPLODES IN MORGAN HILL

Pulitzer nomination for this one? ;-)

A wild turkey was found exploded after running into a power line this morning in Morgan Hill, fire officials said.

The power line could not withstand the impact of the turkey and was found snapped at the intersection of Sycamore Drive and Oakland Avenue.

The line has since been repaired.

Other than the dead turkey, no injuries or damage were reported.
