WHITTIER, Iowa - A wild turkey who lived life in the fast lane
near this eastern Iowa town has died doing what he did best
- chasing cars.

The turkey, called Chuck by some and Jake by others,
showed up more than a year ago and starting harassing
drivers by standing in the road with his feathers ruffled.

Neighbors say the turkey was run over Jan. 31 by a car
flying through town that no one recognized. They buried him.
