A deer decided to run through 2 lanes over a median and into the front of my truck. It was getting dark and didn't even see the deer coming from the woods on other side. The deer didn't suffer and died instantly, I told the cop I was sorry I couldn't find the outer fender,must be on the road, he said dont worry about it, its inside the deer . Here are the pics.

wowser, glad you are ok.

 

Anastasia was 1 car behind another deer accident yesterday in West Windsor.

venison for you tonight dude! and to think, some guys on here have to sit in the woods at odd hours hoping for a shot when all you have to do is take a late night ride on any NJ highway.

Man that sucks, but Lucky there wasn't more damage and everyone is ok, gaps between panels good true. How the rest of the front corner panel looking?

the left panel is metal and luckily has no damage just the plastic piece that's supposedly in the deer broke off. From what I am seeing damage is the grille, torn bumper, lower bumper was ripped out, foglight is sideways and wheel well liner was ripped off. This is only on the left side the right side and middle of car is perfectly fine. It would be expensive to fix without insurance but my deductible is only 100 dollars. Thankfully because its jersey, deer accidents fall under comprehensive and not collision since most of the accidents are unavoidable so it wont hurt my premium.

That sucks. I hit a deer two years ago and it was a pita to deal with. I didn't fix the damage as I had a beater.

Well thats good, 100 bucks isn't too bad, glad it wasn't worse.

Glad your ok, it sucks though I know. I saw a deer a few weeks ago run across the turnpike near exit 9. It went across the truck lanes, car lanes and was hit in the southbound car lanes, spun 180º in the air and proceeded to get up and continue across the southbound truck lanes and into the woods. Was the strangest thing i've seen in a while.

If you hit a deer with your car..... can you keep it? Get some venison, man... It's already tenderized.

Yes.

 

Ant, sorry to hear about the accident. Hope the car gets fixed up quickly and properly.

I know in upstate ny ,my uncle was on a list that police would call him when they had a deer that was just hit and they shot it. Or he sometimes had the option to shoot it himself and take it. Everyone's pretty much a hunter there so I could see people taking what they hit with them.

jihadi Deer..thank god his belt malfunctioned

Didja get the troll beads from White Butterfly?

The deer have been out of control this year. Was driving home on Sunday night and the car infront of me dodged a deer, hit the curb, and flipped his 2-door Honda going about 40. Luckily both the driver and his g/f were okay.

I knew that building in the background.I always thought the painter had to be paid extra to put that color on it yuk

Don't you have to fill out a form with the PD and give the antlers to them if it's a buck?

Unsure on the antlers, but yes the PD has forms for someone wishing to take roadkill home.

Good to hear you ok.

 

A buck decided to total my brothers car 2 weeks ago.

 

Oh nooo, we don't have a deer problem /sarcasm

Hit a deer going West on 280 Sunday night. Deer jumped the median coming from the East bound lane and I hit it immediately. Both airbags deployed and the car caught on fire. Thankfully no major injuries. I counted at least 7 dead deer along 280 when I drove back the next day.

I'm sure that the PD would be thrilled if someone wanted to take roadkill home with them. Takes the burden off of their hands. I wish more people would do it. We see way too many dead deer laying on the side of the road for weeks at a time. Not sure what you would do with it once you got the meat and ate it, though... Any ideas?

I hit one on Monday in Jackson similar damage deer kept running

Holy crap - that's some accident. Glad you're ok.

Haha that's correct that is the place

wow, so many folks here getting lucky. crazy.

 

What kind of car caught on fire after running into a deer?!?!!?

Oddly enough I posted on Facebook today commenting on the 3 dead deer in a 1 mile stretch on Rt 17 in Paramus. (Apparently it's 4 as I missed the one On the Southbound side) For anyone not familiar with the area it's lined with shopping centers, stores, and parking lots. Not exactly deer habitat. Problem with deer hunting is it's done in the boondocks. That does nothing to solve the suburban deer population problem. Interestingly enough if there is a bear wandering around animal control with tranquilize it and relocate it to West Jersey. (They probably drop it off by Pinky sadly) How many bears were involved in auto accidents & fatalities in NJ last year? Now how many deer were involved in auto accidents & fatalities last year? I can tell you on average 150 are killed and 10,000 injured from crashes involving deer in the US. Time to open the suburban hunt! Question is should it be on deer or land developers?

I almost took out a few driving to work as I was leaving my town, both around 0430 in the morning, and 1 in the middle of the afternoon coming home. It's getting dangerous to drive to work, wish there was something I could do about that.

Grunt a few times out the window and rattle some racks together - seems to work to keep the deer away from me.

It was an Audi A4. I hadn't really thought about the fact it catching fire being out of the ordinary but everyone I have spoken to since thinks it's strange.

Any car catching fire nowadays is strange!

It doesn't surprise me, my A4 was a pos.
