Tonight on the way home from racing in ohio my dad was riding in his friends truck and a deer slammed into the side of the truck totaling it, and the deer ended up landing in his lap

hes in the hospital in westfield ny, and we really dont know what happened to him so far

all we know is hes got a broken wrist, needs stitches in his nose, his face and side are all cut up , and there sending him in for cat scans

The driver was fine and said my dad saw the deer comming but i guess it was to late

I just hope everything is alright

and to think i was supposed to go with him today.

15

i saw that same thing happen a few years ago. thing hit the truck so hard it spun it around

16

I know what it’s like. A deer ran into the side of my brand-new(at the time) cobalt on south-western. put his antlers through my passenger window. It most definetely sucks, and there is nothing you can do about it. I couldn’t avoid for my life. If i would have went straight, it prolly would have stayed due to my headlights. i swerved over 3 lanes to my left to try to avoid it. Didn’t work obviously

Hope everything goes good w/ ur father

17

there was a deer in front of me and i could not see it and i swerved to avoid and the damn thing jump in to my car. well damn deers!!!

18

I know this all too well, deer love my car. And it sucks.
