I was driving home from my friend's house this morning around 2AM and a deer ran right into the side of my car. It shattered the driver's side rear window and dented and scratched both doors and the rear quarter panel on the driver's side. The most damage is on the shattered window because it appears that the window frame is bent. I got a police report and contacted my insurance company. What a great way to start of the new year, eh?

Damn Nick, sorry to hear about that. Im hoping your ok though...?

Sorry to hear man. I hope your ok. I hope the body shop does a good job matching the paint.

 

sorry to hear about your damage. i saw a pretty nasty accident on 76w coming home from the fireworks. i still have to contact the other person's insurance in regards to the rear end damage caused last week.

 

My brother had the same thing happen to him while he was driving down the Palisades Parkway in my mother's one month new car.

Man, was she PO'd.

Luckily the insurance covered all the damage.

 

Wow! Sorry to hear, but for what its worth thankfully It was a dear and not a drunken idiot in a 3000lb wrecking ball!

 

That really sucks, sorry to hear about that. Out of all things a damn deer, stupid focker was probably drunk from New Years parties with his other deer buddies.

 

Sorry to hear about this man, not a good way to start the new year.

 

Mine was also a very happy new year. Thanks, neighbor.

Hope you get everything worked out.

 

I think it's something in the water....

 

at least a tree didn't run into you

 

Yeah, deer suck. They're so damn stupid. One ran into me a month or two ago. I don't have full insurance, so I need to fix the car myself. You'd think that it wouldn't be so hard on the car to hit a deer. They're only 95lbs or so, and probably pretty soft.

 

Damn sorry to hear about the inujury. Hope everything goes your way through the insurance company.

 

I've been meaning to take some pictures to show everyone the damage, but I haven't had a chance because it's been raining and stuff. I got an estimate of $1400 to repair the damage. I'm just waiting for the insurance company to come out and look at the car. I think that I am lucky that I had the tint on my windows because the window shattered but stayed together from the tint. If the tint wasn't there, glass would have been all over the inside of my car. I'll try to take some pictures soon.

Later,

Wow those are midget deer roaming around your way.

I've heard of people hitting big ones and really wrecking their cars. Atleast the damage here wasnt THAT bad.

 

I'm gonna agree with Ant on this one. My neighbor owns a body shop so I have seen some damage that deer have done. Deer are like tanks...and yes I am pretty lucky escaping with only $1400 worth of damage.

Sorry to hear about your damage. I hope the body shop can make that car look as flawless as it did when I saw it the E-town meet in May.

 

last year a deer ran into the drivers door of my friends 2001 Jetta, he needed a new fender and door

so many deer in NJ
