Gmt900 Wreck Photo

[-Devil-]

just got this pic in email, wondering if anyone else knows about it ? ... from the photo looks like they clipped a deer with the roof of the truck ...

[K.Jump]

WTF?

[Nytemare]

For being as soft as they are, animals do some serious damage.

 

Hope everyone is ok. But from the looks of it...I doubt it.

[Norman]

d**n!

[-Devil-]

no clue on the people ... because i beleive maybe 1% of the data that is sent with photo's like this ...

 

i have never seen one hit on the upper window part before .. but the damage does look about right i guess .. have seen what a wild turkey will do when it hits the roof / window ...

Looks like there's dentage in the RF Fender they probably caught the deer on the fender and it rolled up into the roof.

[s-ten]

WOW!

 

However that happened, the wreck looks really bad.

That truck was rolled. Driver may have reacted to the deer hitting it, but I find it hard to believe a deer as small as the one laying on the pavement, would cause the damage and subsequent collapse of the roof.

[General Lee 01]

There's no way in hell that thing rolled. If it rolled at a velocity enough to own entire roof, the doors wouldn't still be entact.

 

 

That's no baby deer either, that's a good-sized adult doe. And they can jump high enough to reach the roof of that rig. And I'm willing to be the driver was bookin it too.

[Steveman]

What I dont understand is how the doors are all still intact. You would think that if the roof started to collapse like that the doors would to. Unless they are designed to break free like that.

Well, from the looks of it that "small deer" is actually a bigger deer that got cut in half. See how the rear legs are missing and the guts are showing?

 

That guy was moving really fast to cause that big of a dent, but it is a really straight highway.

 

I just hate to see a new truck like that get wrecked. I'm amazed that there is no damage to the hood.

[Nytemare]

Another car could have hit the deer first too, I've seen the aftermath of that sort of thing before.

I'm waiting on a n00b thread asking "How do I get deer parts out of rear seat DVD player....And child's hair?"

 

 

And Jeremy, thanks for using the term "bookin' it". I try and work that into conversation at least once a day. It's my favorite word this week.

well i know a small wild turkey can smash in the front window and put a nice sized dent in the roof of a silverado ... already seen that first hand ...

 

no that truck wasn't rolled ...

 

as for the doors .. they are not attached to the roof in the front and top so it is very possible for something to just hit the roof and the doors be okay ... if it had rolled the doors would be damaged as well ...

 

the more i look at it ... i would guess the person was prob doing 80+ and the deer either jumped or was hit by a car in front of em and his roof caught it .. and cut it in half ... other half is either inside the truck ... or what is on the road next to it is what was inside the truck ...

[Nytemare]

I'd like to know how its still on the road. Did the guy stop it after it was hit, with his seat reclined all the way back, kinda doing a seated in truck version of the matrix, except with a deer and a folding roof instead of bulletts? That would be one hell of a story.
