    maybe a fence along the highways should be in order to help with keeping drivers and wildlife safe

    Im glad the driver was not seriously injured. Unfortunately this will become more frequent with the FWC looking to limit hunters on the number of deer they can harvest. Drive safe!!

    Kim, I don’t know you but I’m glad you are okay, I worked a Trauma approximately 20years ago that involved a huge buck going through the windshield and causing massive head and chest injuries to the 2 young ladies in the car. I hope you at least were able to keep the deer.

    Did anyone take the deer home? I bet that meat was good and tenderized!!!

    So glad that you are ok Kim. They were loading your car onto the wrecker when we were coming home from work last night. The deer have definitely been out lately. A lot on Elsie Davis too….

    WOW, glad you’re okay and sad about your car.
    Deer seem to wait like Ninja’s and then when you least expect it they attack out of nowhere.
    Make sure to take it easy a few days and let yourself heal up from the crash and the airbags.
    Be Well Soon.

    This was my momma, she’s fine just really sore and shook up. Neither the deer nor the car survived for sure. Haha
