The Florida Highway Patrol said that two drivers going west on Wickham Road – not far from the Brevard Zoo – stopped in the left lane to let the family of sandhill cranes cross the road.
A third vehicle – a Chrysler van – traveling westbound appeared to swerve around the stopped vehicles before noticing the cranes on the road. It quickly swerved back, hitting the two stopped cars, troopers said, according to FOX 35.
