Our Adventure
We had a big adventure on Thursday. My friend Sara and I decided to take a trip to Cherry Hill Mall. We had been driving a little over an hour when we noticed two very big deer running down the side of the road. Now we are on Route 73 in Voorhees which is a 4 lane highway. All of a sudden the deer decide to cross the street not caring that there are 4 lanes of traffic. Well of all the traffic they decided that my van was the one that they had to run in front of. I saw them coming but couldn't do anything to get our of the way. I did swerve into a turning lane but they both hit my car at the front passager head light and then they both hit my windshield on the driver side. One was thrown clear over onto the grass on one side of the road and the other was in the outside lane on the other side. The one that landed in the road actually ended up getting up and made his way off the road and into the woods. There had been a cop there with his gun and in position to shoot him. The other was dead from the impact. As cars started stopping would you believe that all the people went to the deer before they checked to see if we were ok. There was actually a man on the side of the road trying to find the pulse in the dead deers neck. Then he said oh I called 911 are you alright. We were not hurt. In fact Cheyenne and her friend Lexi were asleep when it happened and it only woke them up. My car on the other hand was not as blessed as we were. The windshield is broken, the hood is all dented, my head light is all broken and the car crumpled there, there is a hoof print in the passenger door and my windshield wipers are all broken along with the section that they come out of. The only thing that was wrong with us was, Sara and I had some small cuts on our hands from the glass from the windshield. It was raining down on us in little slivers and was all in our clothes and Sara and I were both a little sore today. God surely is good because they were big deer and we were doing the speed limit. It could have been a whole lot worse.

It happened just before the Library II restuarant.
OH my goodness!!!! I sure am glad you all are ok. I hope you can get the van back to "new" again. I almost hit a deer once, it is quite scary. Did Cheyanne think you hit a moose??
Oh my! I'm so glad everyone is ok. What a scare that must have been.
I can not believe everybody was more interested the deer. That is sooo scary.
Thanks for commenting on my blog - I am glad that you were ok after your accident...so scary. You're not too too far from me. We're in South-eastern PA. Take care.
