Oh shit I'm so sorry hon!!

We almost hit a deer on the way home from Mesquite earlier....we JUST missed it thank God....we would have been fucked as it was pretty big and the type of car my sister has it probably would have come through the windshield :(

I'm so glad you are all safe !!

"According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there are about 1.5 million car accidents with deer each year that result in $1 billion in vehicle damage, about 150 human fatalities, and over 10,000 personal injuries. The actual numbers are probably higher because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's figures for deer accidents, rely on inconsistent state reporting- there is no standard reporting of deer accidents in the country yet, and a "reportable deer accident" varies significantly between states."

She hit it 'Against all odds'

How can she just let it walk away
Let it leave without a trace
Best to strike it, make that deer pay
Oh God, I mashed it's face

It's the only one that really knew my bumper

So take a look at it now
There's just an empty space
Where's it's nose was to remind me
Better pack it in my case

So take a look at it nooow
It's got a flattened head
But to make a stew
Is all I can do
So I can post it on Becky's thread

What's for dinner.

lmao Stevey. I just went out and rechecked the damage. Im thinking about $6000. $500 deductible.. And with it being yellow and five years old, I wonder if they will have to repaint the whole thing.. sheesh

But yea, It could have been a lot worse.. I use to drive a little copper colored wannabe truck.. The deer would have probably went through the windshield.. Im just happy that no one was injured, except Bambi.. There were quite a few cars on the road. And yes,if we would have seen it coming, it probably would have been worse.. Im glad I wasnt driving. .

Big hugs, Y'Vonne, I'm glad everyone is okay.

How upsetting and tragic. I have hit small animals while driving, and I know how wrecked up I get about that.

Big big hugs.
