your passenger looks like she is in shock still. that's pretty minimal damage for a 70mph collision, i recently saw a trailblazer pic where there was deer everywhere inside the suv.

yeah, she was kicked back in the seat sleeping.

I am lucky I drive such a big truck, it would been a lot worse in a car or something smaller.

Glad you're safe. Looks like the center of mass of the deer was nice and low.

Glad to hear you are all ok. Thats dangerous stuff there man. I work for a trucking company and hear all sorts of stories about guys hitting dear. The can jump so high when they get scared. Heard of guys getting killed when the dear jumps straight up in the air and comes through the window.
at least you are ok just gotta clean that thing up now.

Yeah -- definitely glad to see that everyone's ok...and that the damage seems to be minimal. Running into a deer can ruin your day...in a big way. I just saw a clip of a motorcyclist running into a deer....and it looked painful!!!

The fan is destroyed and just hanging there (what is it for anyway?) a little radiator damage (but not leaking) ... all in all I would say I came out OK

I will mos def be upgrading my headlights and fog lights, not that it would helped any, but for piece of mind

Poohdaddy-

Glad everyone's OK. It's also great to see that the Armada made it through that! These Armadas are TOUGH! :eek:
