Around 8:30 I was on 79 heading to Target before work. I happened to have the baby with me so I could drop her off at my friend's house. A deer ran across four lanes of traffic and slammed right into my driver's side window!!!!!! The window shattered sending glass everywhere. I cut my leg, screwed up my car but, luckily everyone is OK!!!
Please be careful everyone. The deer are out everywhere especially along 98!!!!!

To quote Monty Python, "it's merely a flesh wound." It just bled a lot. The sweet girls at my work patched me up.
The deer got up and ran away so I'm not sure of its fate.
I'm just a little shaken up but mostly relieved that Dodie's ok. There was glass all around and in her carseat but she was completely unharmed.

Wow, that is so scary. Glad you're both okay. I know you're shaken up now but Dodie will enjoy the story when she's older.

glad you don't drive with your window rolled down, like me. That deer would have been in the car with you.

Funny, my dad said the same thing.
He always told me not to swerve or slam on breaks for deer, dogs, etc because people tend to get hurt much worse that way. I tried to slow down and I guess I slowed right into its path.
I have been noticing LOTS deer along the roads for a couple of weeks now. Be cautious everyone!!!!!!

what a scary thing to happen with baby girl!!! yes, I've seen many deer lately along 98 and connector roads. and I always feel terrible that they are living near such danger (traffic). and its dangerous for us as well.

Lots of deer along the roads. Very insightful of the DOT to plant tasty grass there. :roll:

"Why were you late this morning?"
"I got hit by a deer."
"You mean you hit a deer?"
"NO, I got hit by a deer"
"There is no need to make up stories, please just be honest."

It's nothing too major. Just a cut from the broken glass.
