I got into a pretty bad car accident last night. I hit a deer straight on the highway and damaged the car pretty badly. Reviewing the dashcam footage, the deer was trying to cross a 10 lane highway and I had about 2 to 3 seconds of time to react. I was able to slow down significantly but unfortunately hit it straight on. I never had a head-on collision so I was quite shaken up. Thankfully, I was about 1/2 mile from the exit to my home so the towing expense was minimized. This is my old trusty Honda Element that I only have liability insurance. I am just thankful that it wasn't worse and I didn't get rear-ended. Other than the nerves, I was not harmed in anyway.
Here is the hit, don't watch if you don't like to see animal getting injured.
Drive safely out there, it really isn't worth driving fast and you get there 10 minute faster. This would have been disastrous had I gone 75-80. Glad I was only going 60 and hit it around 40+.
