My mother and sister had quite the scare a couple of nights ago. They were coming down to our twins' birthday party Friday night, driving on the freeway, when a deer appeared right in front of them. It wasn't walking or running in front of them, it was just standing in the middle of the freeway lane. My mom swerved to miss it and then veered back, only to run off the road. Upon running off the road, the car flipped onto it's top, smashing down the roof of the car about a foot. In the process, a wheel was completely ripped off, and the car was totaled.
Luckily, no one was hurt. My sister was riding in the back seat and ended up sitting on the ground through where the back window used to be. She was not wearing a seat belt. My mom was buckled in and was just suspended in the car until strangers came to help out. Again, no one was injured, but the car was a complete loss. This all happened around Plymouth, UT, where the biggest town is 30 miles away. Luckily, people saw the accident and called paramedics. The first responders came quickly, along with the paramedics. The tow truck driver was gracious enough to drive my mom and sister to Bountiful, UT, so I could pick them up and drive them the rest of the way. I am so thankful no one was hurt and that I still have my mother and sister with us. Worse things have happened to others in similar accidents.
No word on the status of the deer.
