That reminds me of an accident I saw as a child. A truck run over a flock of sheep that was crossing the road, there was blood absolutely everywhere, the ones that weren't dead were limping and crying and the noise they made I've never been able to describe.. nightmarish stuff..

Hitting a deer and killing it is one thing...hitting it and watching it writhing around on the road is another. I've lost count of the amount of times we've had to call the cops out to put a deer out of it's misery.

It's all Muntjacks in this part of the world (Midlands, UK). They aren't very big but they still do a lot of damage.

Not rare at all - unless I am a Muntjack magnet - I've hit three in the last ten years.

Just to update....

$2800 and change was the estimate from the bodyshop so insurance totaled it. We owed $3400, insurance was going to write us a check for $3600 after deductable but we chose to buy it back for $700. A new headlight enclosure and some TLC with a prybar on the door/fender gap and she'll be as good as new. And no more payments...
