Same. She hit the front right fender and tumbled down the side, put big dents in every body panel. Which killed her. They are like giant squirrels around cars.
Had this happen to me too. I was a volunteer in an ambulance doing a transport, and a whitetail jumped over us. It's back heels clicked off the windshield, but it made it. And so did we.
Thanksgiving morning 68 years ago. Dad and I were driving on a back road, dirt at the time, when a huge buck jumped across the hood of the Dodge sedan Dad was driving and disappeared into the woods on the right side of the road. I was sitting in the front passenger seat craning to see over the dash board as Dad had told me to look for deer. All I really saw was a brown blur with legs. Surprised me so much it knocked be back against the seat back.

Whitetail
ReplyDeleteIf you see the fucker heading your way, hit the GD brakes.
ReplyDeleteDeer kill more people in N America than any other animal. They will jump right through the window of a moving car to attack the occupants.
ReplyDeleteShow off.
ReplyDeleteSo what you're showing is that if Steve McQueen had stolen a red deer instead of a Kraut motorcycle, he'd have made it to Switzerland.
