Hit a deer with my car just now 😶

It was dark out and she ran out into the road. Didn't notice her until she was already in the road bc I'm inattentive. Slammed on the brakes, but hit her anyway. She got up off the pavement and bolted to the parking lot with the fawns.

I've heard stories about people being hit by cars, going home, and then collapsing after the adrenaline wears off and being unable to get help. I hope she's ok out there. The fact that there's no damage to my car seems like a good sign, like I didn't hit her crazy hard.

Yes, I hit a deer and killed some of her fawns while driving too- it was a rather rowdy night at the pear tree inn..... bit of alcohol in the system.

The damage to my car was extensive 😡

@TheAlanPartridge You’re mad cause your car was damaged but you just admitted to being under the influence.

@iamonfire696 It was a bit of an outrageous evening... we didn't leave the pub till 11 in the evening... most fun I've had since the London Beer Festival of '89!

@TheAlanPartridge you drove drunk. Thankfully you didn’t hit a person

@iamonfire696 Good Lord if I hit someone...... would I have killed a future UK Space Agency Astronaut or someone who'd ask me for 50p in Norwich city centre?
