I was behind the car and coming out of school and luckily I was far enough behind where I wouldn't have been involved. They really couldn't avoid it. The deer shot across the road, crazy because it had to cross the left side, then the median and then to the side we were on and the car hit it on the very left front. The deer flew in the air spinning around and landed and slid down the other side into the grass. This thing did triple axles in the air. I screamed needless to say. The poor people in the car slowed down and when I passed them their left headlight was shattered and their windshield was smashed. I'm sure they were shaken up. Poor deer too. Needless to say this is why I hate living in Virginia. Well one of the many reasons.

There is this toll highway here and they have warning signs, but the speeds on that highway are 75-80 mph. I try to avoid that highway espeically during dusk cause apparently that's when deer like to appear

There were a few lying there that had already been hit. It was scary and pretty surreal. We were lucky none of the ones grazing jumped out into the road.

This is why the term "bird-brain" doesn't make any sense...it's a reference to a small brain but that small brain is calculating. New term should be deer-brain because they're not smart enough
