There are killers on the Road be careful

On 081913 while driving down a county two lane road the killer attacked me, It was a female also the odd thing she did not ask for money or anything after doing seriously bodily harm to me. Seriously it was a deer came through the windshield and decided to beat me up my eye sockets were broken my nose was broke and a blood henotoma on my left hip the hospital nurse said it looked like the hip bone was protruding out the side of my hip iI asked if it were blood could it be drained the reply was it will dissipate it you drew a axsis line it is about twelve inches on each side and sticks out about three inches once it starts dissapiating from my toe to my stomach will be black wet or dry blood being moved around i guess it will take a long time to break the blood down and get them out your body. when the deer came through the windshield there were shards of glass broken debris It immediately broke my nose and broke and cracked my eye sockets my eyes are almost completely swollen shut now and a bad back injury. As soon as the truck is fixed and the docs do not tie me up physically I will be on the road I hope around the first of october 2013 hope to attend the Florida rally and then head out west in the camper thank goodness the camper was not on the truck when this happened Good Luck All and Happy Motoring

  • Glad we are reading about it here and not in the newspapers, because usually if it is in the papers, it's a fatality. Great that you are on the mend.
    I had a kangaroo, hit my my Bull bar once, in a little Suzuki Van. Must have clipped it as it jumped with it's upward bounce, went over the roof. Car damaged, but I was ok!
    Great that your ok.
  • Well, deer have been classified as the most dangerous big game animal in North America. And it surely seems this is the reason.

    Best of luck and wishes for a quick, full recovery.
  • Ouch. I'm so sorry to hear that. I had a close call at Cloudcroft about 5am a few months ago. The road through the forest at that time of the morning looked like a sure-fire site for a deer related accident and I crawled down it at 25mph (there was no-one tailing me to worry about). Sure enough we rounded the corner and they
    came running across the road in front of us. I could easily have been doing 60 there and it would have resulted in a hospital stay.

    Get well soon.

    Steve.
  • They have been crashing into cars since the 1930's. It is becomeing more common too!

    I hope you heal up soon, and get back to camping and more important things in life. The vehicle can be replaced.

  • Owwwwww!!! :( So sorry about your accident. Glad it wasn't worse!
    (I'd guess it was somewhat worse for the deer - at least the outcome.)
  • Wow! I'ver head & read about deer taking out folks in cars by coming through the windshields.

    Glade you are SomeWhat OK. Could have been Worse.

    Heal Quick, Ya' Hear.
