This came to me via email. This is the description of what happened:
They were traveling in southern Arkansas , between Mena and Dequincy. Oncoming car clipped a deer and sent it straight up into the air. The deer came down head-first into Clayton’s brand new truck. The deer’s head went thruough the front windshield, cutting the head (plus some) off, and landed in Jill’s lap. The body of the deer flipped up, smashed in the top of the truck, and landed in the bed. Clayton couldn’t see Jill from his side, because the top of the truck was smashed in so horribly.
He got out of the truck, went around, and opened the door on her side…only to start flipping out, because she was literally drenched in blood. However, neither one of them was hurt. Her parents were following in a separate vehicle and didn’t see it happen..but drove up on it right afterward. I can’t imagine what they were thinking!
“The following pictures are of a moose that went through a car’s windshield and out the rear window this month near South River, Ontario.
The VERY lucky woman driver ended up with just a broken wrist and needing a good bath. When you view the pictures you will wonder how the woman managed to survive.”
Meet the wiliest of all coyotes.
When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on. They didn’t realize this was the toughest creature ever to survive a hit-and-run.
Eight hours, two fuel stops, and 600 miles later they found the wild animal embedded in their front fender – and very much alive. Daniel and Tevyn East were driving at night along Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah border when they noticed a pack of coyotes near the roadside on October 12. When one of the animals ran in front of the car, the impact sounded fatal so the siblings thought there no point in stopping.
‘Right off the bat, we knew it was bad,’ Daniel explained. ‘We thought the story was over.’ After the incident around 1:00am, they continued their 600 mile drive to North San Juan – even stopping for fuel at least twice.
But it was only when they finally reached their destination at 9:00am did they take time to examine what damage they may have sustained. At first it looked as though it was going to be quite gruesome. ‘[Daniel] saw fur and the body inside the grill,’ Tevyn East said. ‘I was trying to keep some distance. Our assumption was it was part of the coyote – it didn’t register it was the whole animal.’
Daniel East got a broom to try and pry the remains out of the bumper and got the shock of his life. ‘It flinched,’ Tevyn East said. ‘It was a huge surprise – he got a little freaked out.’
'We knew it was bad': Tevyn East, who was in the car when it hit the coyote, bends down to take a look at the fur poking through the fender Fur Pete's sake: What Mr. East spotted as he bent down to inspect the damage to his car – the body of the coyote poking out through the radiator Wily coyote: The animal's head can be seen as rescuers took apart the front fender to save it after it was struck by the car at 75mph Miracle escape: As the animal struggled, wildlife protection officials put a loop around its neck to prevent it from further injuring itselfAnd voila! Tricky the toughest coyote ever rests in a cage after its ordeal – which it survived with just some scrapes to its paw
Joe Gibbs’ Racing driver Brad Coleman was testing a Gibbs NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car at Toyota Arizona Proving Grounds earlier this week when he ran into a coyote on the track.
An old man and woman were on the way to Greenville, NC and stopped at McDonalds in Farmville just off of 264 East bypass last Saturday (When?) and did not know that they hit this deer!!
Someone in McDonalds had to tell them.
The old man said he noticed that the car was starting to run a little hot the last few miles.
