he should of hit the deer

here are a few pics of my buddies '00. he was heading to work the other morning and there was a deer standing in his lane so he swerved to go around it and when he did two others came up over the bank. so a quick yank back to the right then left then right then Disaster Ensued......

 

that sucks

 

Was your buddy OK? Truck took a pretty good beating.

 

Oh that sucks... Was he okay? What did his front end hit?

 

wow, hope hes ok. i think i read somewhere before that people are better off just hitting the deer cause more get hurt hitting other things trying to swerve around them?

 

yeah he was fine sore as shit. he just left his house like maybe a mile down the road and he just happend to reach over and pull his seat belt on like 2 minutes before all this shit unfolded he hit a bank. he said it was either a gaurd rail and possibly over the bank or hit the shale bank it also sheered the bolts out of his toolbox and through it out if the bed prob 50mph impact but 50 to zero pretty good jolt

 

that sucks! hope your buddy is ok!

 

im glad to hear hes ok

 

tryin to talk him into another taco

 

Another testament to how well our trucks protect us. Glad he's ok.

 

Always hit the deer. My wife is an animal lover and my biggest fear is she will be killed in an accident trying to miss a deer in the road. Glad your boy is alright

 

Ill tell you what... A Ford nor a Dodge would look that good after a wreck. Good thing he is ok. Just be glad he was in a Yota

 

WW! I hope he is ok. Toyota's are 1 tough truck!

 

i also forgot to mention that he brought that truck back from the grave back in december of 2000. he bought it at a salvage auction for like 4500 bucks and it had 5k on it. it suffered the same fate only it hit lower and tweeked the frame and busted the radiator but didn't blow the bags. so 165k later this happened to him.

 

Truck Karma?

Glad to hear he is okay! Truck doesn't look too bad though considering he was going 50mph. Good ol tacos

 

Glad your buddy is ok. Sorry 'bout his truck though.

I am an animal lover and always said I would avoid the animal at all costs. But after working with safety for while and seeing what had happened to people due to them avoiding animals, it's gonna be hang on and slow down as much as possible. Sorry, but my life and my families lives are worth more than a deer or other animal. Not to mention, the animal is the lessor of the evils - the deer or a tree. One moves and the other doesn't.

 

Completely agree. I've been driving for 34 years and never as far as I know hit a critter (knock wood). But if it came down to it, the choice is clear.
