I rarely get in to accidents, I've been in 2 my entire life (i'm 25), but 2 nights ago, I hit a deer.
I was going so fast, that it just smashed the bumper and flew over my car, I **** you not. I feel kinda bad for the deer, but, I slammed on the brakes & cut the wheel to the left immediately before I saw it. I still managed to hit it going about 45mph. They say if you're going to hit a deer, you may as well suck it up and hit the thing, instead of veering off the road and possibly causing another accident or a more serious one. I lucked out and it didnt hit the windshield, thank god for that. The high beam/headlights are somewhat seperated from the bumper, although, everything else is fine on the car. The bumper will need to be replaced most likely, but, It could've been a lot worse. pics :   My girlfriend was screaming when it happened.... nothing makes you concentrate more than a woman grabbing your arms and yelling in your ear while you're trying to avoid death, believe me.  I had a bunch of crap on my windshield, nasty blood & all kinds of gooey stuff. The car is still amazingly clean, although, that juice was hard to get off the windows. Just thought i'd post this to make the person who hit the rabbit feel better. At least your roadkill was smaller than a bread box! This post has been edited by sinner96ST: Mar 27, 2006 - 11:50 AM |

lol.. thanks for the replies...
yeah, it was just a deer, a pretty good sized one.. apparently I hit it going so fast it flew over my car, had it flown a little lower, it would've went straight through the windshield. just got back from the bodyshop, the headlights on the passenger side are completely broken off (they're just hanging in there, no supports) and the bumper is cracked around the high beam. total cost to fix it is going to be about $1,070, i'm glad I have insurance. |
