In 1980, a friend and I were driving to Cleveland for some dog shows and thought we saw a dog laying in the road, It was half of a Hereford. We figured the other half was on the front of a semi.
Seriously, deer collisions are not to be taken lightly. Our county averages 400 deer-car collisions every year. Doug was one of them in January 2001. It did nearly three thousand dollars damage to the car.
A few years ago, a couple driving to work on Chapel Road in Butler County, Ohio were struck by an airborne deer that had been hit by a vehicle coming in the opposite direction. The woman in the car was decapitated by the deer's hooves as it slammed through the windshield. Be careful out there. - Roberta
