    I enjoyed the story Abe. I hit a rabbit once in Kentucky, three months later I found parts of it wrapped up in my front brake rotor.

    I was heading south on I-25 in the middle of Albuquerque just south of I-40 in Morning rush hour traffic. I was rounding a bend in the road at 55 mph when right in my lane was a large Spinning Roof Vent on a pallet. I had no choice be to run the thing over. Thank god for high clearances. I was driving an 86 KW with a 45' Flatbed, loaded with 50,000 lbs of Sheetrock heading to Las Cruses, NM. Another time I had a Racoon run out in front of me, turn to face me like a Football player, and tried to defend his quarterback. The next night on my way home again, there he laid, right where my left tires got him. I named him Rocky Racoon, and said I'm sorry Rocky every time I drove past him until animal control finally scooped him up.

    Had a woman with her young son jump off a bridge in front of me it was 6 yrs ago and I still have the vision of what happened in my mind I couldn't get back behind the wheel of any vehicle for six months trust me it plays with your mind and it sucks.

    my oldman was following a 80 ton road train at 90kmh and was just about to overtake it when the road train jumped on the brakes hard and fast, Dad saw the woman that jumped in front of the roadtrain tumble off to the side of the road. They shut the road straight away cause she was dead on impact.

    I passed a stopped semi and trooper on I-5 in Salem, Oregon and in front of the truck was a tarp covering a man who had run out in front of the truck. I check the news and it was a suicide. I think that was Aug 9, 2009, I remember cause I was going to a family reunion.

    Only things I've ever hit weren't alive. But in terms of stories there was a cattle truck rollover in June in Southern Queensland. Driver was fine, but they virtually had to shut down the highway and bring in drovers to round all the cattle back up.

    I hit 2 young white tails with a semi before I had a bush bumper on the front and when i hit them they both helicoptered into both ditches.
    I also hit a pedestrian as well on a dimly lit highway in city limits with a Oldsmobile station wagon about 15 years ago. Pedestrian was drunk and walking with his head down straight towards oncoming traffic. I didn't see him because he was wearing jeans and a jean jacket and his hands were in his pockets. I know myth busters said you cannot knock a man out of his boots but i beg to differ. I didn't see him until he was 2 ft from my bumper. (I was glancing at my speedometer just before that. I was traveling at 70 km/h).
    I hit him just to the right of my left side headlight, his shoulder slammed into the windshield right in front of me and he helicoptered over the car and landed on the solid center line. He was out cold and he was breathing heavily and irregularly.
    911 was called and the ambulance took him away to the hospital. I went back to lean against the back of my car and there 3 ft away from my back bumper sat both of his high top leather work boots. 1 still pointing the direction he was facing before impact the other also pointing same direction but on its side.
    Police took me to the station to take my statement, was informed no charges will be made against me, there were 3 witnesses saying they barely missed him as well, and 1 saying he saw the guy step right into the path of my car just before my headlights lit up that area of the road. Thankfully, he did manage to survive.
    I still get images of him 2 ft from my bumper sometimes when i close my eyes, and dream about it replaying in my mind about once a year.
    I feel very bad about the whole situation, but talking about it once in awhile actually helps unload the guilty feeling of how I wish I didn't look down at the speedometer at that particular moment. I hope he is doing better.

      i had an accident cople month after i started driving , it a moose at probably 50 60km/h , i almost died that night ! , 8 yrs later still think about it, looking the picture of the car is a bit theraputic for me! after the crash it took me 3 month to drive again and more than 6 month to feel safe again at the wheel

It did 14000.00 dollars worth of damages. I was injured for a week. Luckily I was empty and I didn't flipped it over.

    It's a federal crime in Illinois too. Any other animal gets creamed, but we'll have traffic jams over geese and ducks. I think it's because they mate for life, and if one of the couple dies, they don't find another mate. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but that's what I've been told.

    •  8 лет назад

      It is true that they mate for life, & if one is hit, they stay with the one that got knocked off. But them finding another afterwards, I don't know.

    A rabbit went through my windshield once. No, really!
    I was driving along and a bird of prey had caught a rabbit, bird was trying to fly off when I came along...and the bird realized that it was put in a situation where it could either ditch the rabbit and fly to safety, or end up splattered. It let go of the rabbit right when they both cleared the grill and the rabbit got turned into mush.
    Try explaining that to your company's insurance people.

    almost fucked up a deer in iowa. ran right in front of me and it was the middle of the night so i hit my brakes a bit cause i knew no one was behind me. (wonders of back roads) if i didnt i wouldve destroyed it along with my truck since my company than didnt provide the deer guards. my dad works on the state highways in california told me he went on to a scene to block the highway. guy jumped in front of a semi to kill himself and accomplished it. not a good scene to come onto and told me to always look out for people on the side of the road. never know what they'll do.

    I was thinking to my self. Guys go hunting all the time for hours and come back home without a deer. I'm driving down i80 and I strike two of them with my truck. Smh. But seems like Starting at NV and up east to nj and Pennsylvania border nothing but dead deer every 6 7 miles.
    I use to feel bad running over rabbits. The crunching noise under my tire when the rabbit blows up and all that use to make me sick now im like well... shit happens

    hang in there my past is not going to be mentioned here or anywhere else. it's all but forgotten. your missing out though on big snakes that get caught up in the spool of your tandems as well as running over big gators too. Keep on trucking and keep it safe... you may have that day coming and hopefully it will not do you or your truck any harm to damaging anything very costly...moose are no exceptions and those moose bars are worth thier weight in gold. You might wanna get invested into one it's always maybe getting a blind hit from a goaless lazy driver that cared not to get out and look too. just saying better safe than sitting sorry. Later. C-ya. & Welcome back. :)

    About the animals,
    Did it happen during Hunting season? cause that might explain the goose.
    Deer, and moose, have whats known as a rut. It's seasonal. They are more 'active' in the rut.
    If your on the open road during the rut ya gotta watch. They get all horned up. It's a deer, thing.
    A moose will charge your truck if you honk at it, and flash your lights. To get it to move off the, path. Beat your front end to pieces if you piss it off. lol
    If you hit one in a car it ends up in your lap. Crushes alot of people.
    I know you did not mention moose but, I thought I'd warn ya if, you ever driving in Canada in the spring.
    As for the woman,
    Man some folks are just messed up inside.
    It's her sin. Let it go.

The best part was the intestines and stomach that got hung up on the landing gear cross member. I had to remove that with a stick at the fuel island. Ugh there was hair and blood and deer shit all over the underneath of the trailer.
