      I suspect the information that the insurance agent gave Casey was accurate for the for what he knew at the time. He probably assumed that it had dents and other issues, but probably didn't know that is had come off the road, rolled several times, struck a tree while 8 feet in the air and initiated the auto destruction sequence.

      Well, I don*t know if he was really lying (in the means of deeing deliberately the untruthful). I am more guessing: The message went through several stages and departments and was changed a bit on every step. So e.g. "Came off the road while trying to avoid a deer, crashed my car" become to "somehing with a deer and a crash " and then "hit a deer".

  • @toddk1377
    @toddk1377 2 года назад +4

    I've hit numerous deer. Probably more than any I have shot in over 20 years of hunting. I won't swerve to miss them, if anything, I try to center the hit if possible. I've always driven a truck or a jeep and usually had a bull bar or brush guard. An impact on one side will definitely have significantly more damage than a centered hit. All but one time, I have always been able to load the deer up and throw it in the freezer. The one was hit at 50 mph with my deuce and it happened to quick to even think about it, she went under the tires and was basically mutilated. She didn't even scratch the paint on the bumper. Having big trucks made of steel has it's merits.
