driving down a busy 4 lane secondary road well inside the city limits during commuter hours no less. Really unnerving since I'm just driving along at 50mph and ... out of nowhere ... BAM!!! I never saw it coming and for what was a few seconds but felt like a minute or two I couldn't figure out what had happened until I saw the deer in my rear view mirror on the side of the road.
I see them in my neighborhood at times which was only about a mile or so from where it happened, but never expected something like this on such a busy road at that time of day (around 7pm).
Oh well, at least I have my Novatac 85P on me so I could inspect the damage and evaluate if the car was safe to drive afterwards. It appears to be mostly cosmetic but where it hit it did a job on the right front quarter panel but then cracked, bowed or loosened the bumper, grill, hood and front right fog light/turn signal and headlight assemblies... It didn't appear to damage the radiator which was my initial concern.
Now I get to wait for the insurance company to follow up on the claim I submitted last night online...
