RKidder 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Last night I hit a moose on the turnpike on the way home. Abdominal contusions and abrasions near port site. CT scan in ER showed nothing happened to band or port. God was watching over me for sure! Car totaled. Have to go and buy a new car. Check out the damage. Boy am I sore all over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faithmd 14 Posted June 29, 2007 I am glad to hear you are alright! So did you at least get the moose meat? What kind of car was that? Looks like it did a pretty good job of absorbing the impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gibson 7 Posted June 29, 2007 Oh how terrifying! You'll probably be nervous about driving for weeks now. Thank GOD you are OK! I know that a lot of people die here where I am when they hit deer with their cars. Wow. :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RKidder 0 Posted June 29, 2007 The state trooper asked me if I wanted to take the moose meat home. No way, it was pretty badly mangled. I was driving a Honda CR-V. Thank God I had a good car - if I had been in my VW Beetle, I would probably not be here. I am going to buy another Honda CR-V -- it saved my life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alexandra 55 Posted June 30, 2007 Oh my god, you are lucky to be ALIVE!! Thank goodness you weren't hurt more seriously. I hear you about the Honda CR-V. I had a piece of metal junk fall off a truck and land square on my windshield a while back, totally destroying it and almost going through into my face. The windshield held, though. That is one strong car!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
