Let's see...
I was driving to meet my wife (we were still just dating). it Was April 4, 2003, and being that i Live in New England, it was Sleeting hardcore at about 6 at night on a friday. anyway, i see somehting moving across the street ahead of me , so i started to slow down, then i realised there was a moose in the road maybe 30 feeet ahead of me. I slammed on the breaks and swerved into the oncoming lane, but i hit her with the left sideof my car. the headlight hit her front legs, and the bulk of her body hit the passenger side of the roof, pinning the corner to the headrest of the passenger seat. Luckily, i was the only one in the car.
i ended up on the shoulder of the opposite side of the road, the moose was dead about 20 feet behind the car. The impact caused her to skid more than 100 feet on the road (although it was covere din sleet an very slick). if i hadnt risked runninginto oncoming traffic, she would have destroyed the entire front of my car, andi would have been dead on impact.
it took me almost a month to stop seeing the accident every time i closed my eyes.
