My wife and I hit a deer…
My wife and I hit a deer going about 55mph 3 months ago. 2018 Crosstrek. The brush line was close to the road, and the deer came out of nowhere. No time for either the car or my wife to react.
Back country road, miles from anywhere.
Everyone that arrived, from the cops, the friends who came to help us, to the tow driver, were all astonished we walked away from it.
The car and deer were both totaled, by my wife and I both walked out of the accident with nothing but some bruising from the airbags.
In the ~90 minutes we were at the scene, we never saw another car aside from those we called there. Had the car not done such an amazing job protecting us, it could have been hours before anyone knew we were there. I am 100% convinced that car saved our lives.
Needless to say, we bought a new Crosstrek.
