Similar damage on my 2019 Ranger pick-up was $8K, but that was 2 years ago...Last night I swerved to avoid a deer, went off the road and hit a fence. Should have took the bastage out.
Damage quote?
what was the damage like at that speed?That sucks, I feel your pain. I hit a deer last summer only going about 30mph. Hopped out in front of me from a field that goes right to the road, there was basically no time to react. I'll never understand why they run towards the large, loud, moving thing that scared them.
I added a pic to my post.what was the damage like at that speed?
damn! if i saw it without being told, i would have guessed 3k. but i guess your headlight damage alone brought the repair cost up a lot.I added a pic to my post.
Your instinct is good. You don't want to hit a deer. They do a lot more damage than you might think.It was instinct, avoid the obstacle. Several people told me after that if I had hit him head on that he most likely would have come through the windshield.
I don't like to unnecessarily kill things.
