Illinois Driver Hits Two Deer in 10 Minutes

JERSEYVILLE, Ill. — Kathryn Gowin was already spooked after she hit a deer with her Ford Explorer last week in southern Illinois.
Then 10 minutes later, she hit another one.
Gowin says she's been driving the back roads near her Bunker Hill home for more than 30 years, and she's never hit a deer.
She says the first deer darted into the driver's side of her SUV, damaging her wheel well, grill, bumper and headlight.
Since her car was drivable and she was close to home, Illinois State Police told her to drive the rest of the way.
But half a mile later, a second deer lunged into the road, this time into the passenger side. It took out her right front fender and door.
She was uninjured. It isn't clear whether the deer fared as well.
 
OMG thats crazy but I can top that one ......... I hit 3 full grown quarter horses with my 93 chevy s 10 blazer all at the same time , that is why I got to get back surgery
 
Sounds more like the deer hit her.
 
Altough I've never hit any animal before on the road, I have witnessed a sheriff ramming a deer that jumped infront of his squad car... That Crown Vic was damaged pretty good by the buck... Frighting ordeal, I hope that I'll never go thru that...
 
I know when I hit those horses they had to use teh jaws of life to get me out of my blazer yes it was totaled so I can imagine how the woman felt after hitting 2 deer

Wow, sorry to hear.. Hope you made a full recovery.
 
I live in an area that is kind of on the border of suburban sprawl and the country so there are ALOT of deer and little hunting. This time of the year is the worse as its the rut (mating season) and they, especially the bucks, just get crazy. And yes, I keep a sawzall in my trunk in case there is a nice buck on the side of the road.

Honestly I cant believe I havnt hit a deer yet. During this time of the year you will see them everyday just chillen on the side of the roads!
