I went to Wendy's on 4 aftewards, the lady at the register, closed her register, quit and walked out right when it was my turn and they had no replacement until a manager got there about 15 min. later (got 50% off my food) she said she was going to fire the register girl that walked out and already quit and left, I'm going over the bridge admiring the Patuxent and how I LOVE being out on the water and all and then they all ran out and I slammed my breaks then let up really quick before impact. I'm glad my airbags didn't go off... Actually, I'm not having a good week... Eitheway, I just feel like crap about it all There's deer hair stuck all over my fender, my lights all on the right side are in about 100 peices as is the grill. Body of truck seems ok as is radiator and hood.

If you want it, its about 1/10th of a mile from the bridge and I can guarantee its tenderized

Don't be sad, you know you wouldn't have hit it if there was anyway to avoid it. It will be ok. I'm glad your safe, and that is the most important thing. Again don't let it bother you to bad, there was nothing you could have done to change the outcome.

Nobody does, you are not alone.

The deer population does need to be culled. Hitting them with our cars is not the answer.

A gal I worked with last year had a niece who swerved to avoid a deer, and her niece was killed when she slammed into a tree instead.

Again, glad that you are okay.

The bladder probably burst. Roadkill venison is not a good thing.

I'm ok, food that I was bringing home went everywhere in the truck. I had to get my shoes off the floor because I don't like driving in heels so they were on the seat. I saw the deer got stuck in my headlights but couldn't go left because there were more deer that was behind it and to teh right was a ditch or something. I had to hit it head on. I just feel really badly about it all.

Kind of a dumb question I guess, but am I supposed to fill out an accident report or something like that for something like this???
