Afternoon on the way home from work .... 60+mph

 

Ouch, Hope all is well.

 

Minor cuts due to flying glass

 

Glad you are OK. Lucky bambie didn't come through the windscreen.

 

Bambie was Leaping unfortunately I hit him and flung him into the door ...

The windscreen really took the brunt it's really caved in

 

Where were you (on what road?) when this happened?

 

Rt 77 just below RT271 broad daylight 3:30 in the afternoon

 

wow, that is something I do not wish to experience. Glad that you are ok. That was on my mind driving in the dark through the mountains when I picked up my car last week.

how did the deer do? Mini 1 Deer 0?

 

Ah, yes...definite deer country. Always amazed by how many deer would attempt to cross the highway there!

I almost nailed a deer headed down into the Valley early one morning...

Had another close call in Mogadore, too!

 

I had to pull the deer off the highway ... the patrolman pulled his car to slow traffic ... fun going into Rt 77 at rush hour to pull the deer off

 

Last July, leaving Colorado into New Mexico, a baby deer (fawn?) ran in front of our MCSC. My wife and daughter were asleep. I had to break hard, swerve left, and then right to avoid the little guy. It was like a matador and bull. We all escaped safely, Bambi included.

In retrospect it seems kind of funny, little car, little deer.

 

Wow those are pretty graphic photos. I hope your Mini has a quick recovery! Make sure and post photos when your car is back to normal.

 

There's glass all over your interior too!

 

There was more on me .... Took two hours to pull the slivers out of my skin/scalp ....

 

I just read this a few minutes ago in the news; consider yourself lucky compared to this woman:

damn, looks like the MINI did its job! Hope everything worked out.

 

I don't know about you, but I would need new shorts after this encounter as well! Glad you are okay.

 

Somebody needs to design a grill badge for those of us who have had encounters with Bambi . . .

 

I was going to have a small deer with a red circle with a slash thru it put on my window

 

 

 

 

OMG! That is hilarious!!

 

Did you get your car fixed that quickly? My soninlaw has been hit twice in the last year. Both times the car was off the road for more than a month waiting parts. They have our X3 at the moment while the car is in the shop following the second accident. Because they now live in Cleveland with all of its snow, don't think I'll see that car again until spring.<G

My car wasn't hit by a deer, but Mother Nature creamed it with a falling tree last Spring during an ice storm. My insurance company [Allstate] advised that I take it to a Car Star [a national company] for repair, as they guarantee their repairs for the life of the car as long as you are the owner. They did a fantastic job, and in less than a week's time. I'm pretty certain that this is the place I'll be headed to in the future [hopefully not, but ya never know]. They had even detailed the car inside and out when I went to pick it up.
