Launched off of an overpass? Jeez!

Good day not to be driving the convertable.

Although it wasn't an animal, I investigated an accident where an intoxicated driver managed to slip between all the barriers on a freeway overpass, and launch onto the rear portion of a vehicle going under the bridges <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Freaky the things that can happpen near overpasses.

This gives the story with pics and an explanation of what happened
Deer jumps into Dodge Durago. Good pics.

Still doesn't explain what's on the top. There's no other damage to indicate he rolled, so that's out.

If the deer went right thought the windshield, the top wouldn't be smashed. If you look at the sidewise pic, if it did fall from above there's a good chance when the head went through the windshield, the back end/legs flipped up and smacked the roof. Then the body bounced/swung by the trapped head & front legs to the hood, where there's almost no damage. I go for the "voided contents" with dirt knocked off a deer that was rolling int he dirt before it was hit . Just a guess.

Either that or it fall face-first on in the windshield, body on top, and the guy, being from Minnasota (eh?), wanted to make certain his free, no-license-necessary deer didn't get away, so he hauled it through the windshield and into the truck.

you guys have some wierd stories. Funny, but deffinately odd.

what really sucks is this guy never took his durango off road and he has more "trail damage" than most wheelers

Almost 100% sure it's dirt, but if it isn't dirt then the only other thing I can think of that would make sense is that it is deer sh*t. Not only did it void its guts but it voided something else. Doubtful but maybe.

We weren't for sure if he was aiming for the deer and that's why he drove off the overpass or whether he fell asleep. When you run with the fire department you end up seeing some weird things.

Actually just the other day I did... funny, you saw that too.

trust me. it's deer poop. see it all the time.

if you look close you can see the corn in it.
