OP you do know that while you view yourself a hero the situation could have ended very differently and this red CRV could have become more alarmed by not only the presence of a turtle but with your presence also.
This red CRV could have struck you and either killed you or injured you badly. I prefer not to be judgmental so I'll let you decide if in the event you had been killed or injured what you family would have believed about your actions?
I can't tell you the number of accidents over the years that killed or injured a person because of belief that they were responding with good intentions.
Experts will tell you if its you or an animal chose you.
I am pleased that you are well and that the turtle is also
