Deer Flies Through Car During Family Pizza Run: ‘It Came Right Through the Windshield’

Deer Flies Through Car During Family Pizza Run: It Came Right Through the WindshieldMINNEAPOLIS (The Blaze/AP) — A Minnesota family on a pizza run bagged a deer instead when a small buck struck by an oncoming car flew through their windshield and out their rear window.

Chris and Susan Blake and their 17-year-old daughter, Olivia, were injured but survived the frightening crash last weekend along the Blue Earth County highway.

The deer struck Chris in the face and glanced off Sue before striking Olivia in the back seat. The animal’s momentum sent it through the rear window.

“It came right through the windshield and actually t-boned me in the face,” Chris told KARE-TV.

He said he broke numerous bones in his face and that his daughter broke her nose and fractured her cheek. Susan Blake had scratches to her face and bruising.

“In my 20 years with the patrol I think this is the first time that I’ve had a deer come through the windshield, go all the way through the car and then out the back,” the investigating officer, Trooper Mark Fahning of the Minnesota State Patrol, told the TV station.

Olivia has two weeks until she is set to play the lead in the school musical, “Hello Dolly.”

    In my neck of the woods, if you hit a deer, you betta hurry up and load it up or the next redneck that drives by will beat you to it.

    I bagged my first buck with a ‘71 Dodge Polara. It was my granddads car and I didn‘t think he’d believe me so me and my buddy dragged it up into the trunk and brought it back to the house. Pops butchered it up and we ate that bad boy. Back then cars were made from steel and it broke a headlight, damaged the grill and put a small scratch in the hood.

    This type of accident happens here all the time, but gets especially dangerous in late fall and winter when deer start to move. Its not just in the rural areas either. I live in a subdivision with a couple hundred houses and see deer in the yards and streets all the time. Deer population management is critical because without it, their food supply runs out and they starve to death. People who are against deer hunting just don’t understand that the population needs to be controlled. I personally don’t deer hunt but have friends and family members that do. Nothing like deep fried backstrap with ketchup and light bread! (backstrap is tenderloin for the uninitiated)

    In Ohio you have to keep both eyes out for deer. Over the years there has been a deer population explosion much to the point that the deer have nothing to eat and go looking anywhere to find food. ODNR has had to extend deer season in order to put balance in the deer population so that they dont starve to death or get ran over by cars and hurt people much like the family in the video.

      When we hit ours, we were talking to the Ohio Highway Patrolman and he said that about 20,000 per year are hit in the state. A friend of mine that is a truck driver hit one last week.

    We hit a deer a while back, loads of damage to the car. Put some of those deer whistles on the car, had a couple close calls. Decided to put a picture of Olbermann and Maddow on the car and play a mix tape of their broadcasts. The deer run as fast as they can the other way now. Pedestrians usually do the same. For 9.95, plus shipping and handling, I can hook you up too!

      Lol @DABLOOZ – That was funny. Have you seen the bumber sticker with Barry’s Hope sticker? The one that says “Does this a$$ make my car look big”. After an accident like that, the deer was wasted meat. My hope and prayers go out to the family for fast healing. Hunter’s, if the law allows you to take more deer than you need, donate your deer to local food banks. That big ole pot of venison chilli sure warms up a hungry persons heart.

      We‘re on our sheriff’s list for roadkill. Bought the wife a meat bandsaw a couple of years ago for butchering goats. Did a deer with it last year. Hopefully we’ll get the chance again this year. Probably have to buy another freezer since we just had a steer done. 500lbs of meat sittin’ there now. Lots of goodies the wife canned sittin’ in the basement. Homebrew fermentin’ as well. Life is good!

    My worst encounter with a deer was in Ann Arbor MI. I had just landed at the airport and during my rollout saw a big buck running down the runway toward me. Considering the high price of props, I shut down right where I stopped. I called the tower and they had to send a fuel truck out to run off the deer before I could taxi to the ramp.

    This happens a lot where liberal enviro-nazis have made hunting illegal, or scared the land owners so badly with threats of law suits that the deer populations have sky rocketed. A few years back a village in PA made deer hunting illegal and a man was killed when a large buck crashed through his windshield and impaled him. His widow sued the village and won on the grounds that the deer would probably have been killed if deer hunting were not outlawed. I have struck a few and it’s no fun believe me.

    Once had a buck ram me just behind the driver’s side door. Had he held his head any higher he would have impaled my child in her car seat through the window. It was near the NC coast so it was a smaller deer. Had we been up in the NC mountains it would have been a different story.

    I feel sorry for the family out for a simple pizza run, but as someone from Maine… you watch the roads like a hawk at night for deer and moose. I can’t imagine the speed they were doing to hit the buck and send it out the rear window. The article reads as if the deer did the flying himself, like it was some launched biological guided missile.

    From Canada… If you’re driving at night here you better slow down and watch intently, Deer and Moose are everywhere. I hit a deer with my Ram in 2008, only then decided to put a bush guard on and 20 inch tires. It’s really bad up here. Buddy hit a Moose on his Harley near Radium this summer, survived only because of full leathers. Many people I know up here have hit wild life.
    I feel sorry for the family going for pizza, and Pray for healing and comfort.
    Another fact is the anti-gunners/hunters are creating a problem, because you’re gonna hear more and more of these stories unfortunately….. Please be careful drivng at night outside urban areas, wherever you are.

      Understand about the deer in Florida, lived in Pensacola and Jay (Santa Rosa county) for a time, and learned to love deer very much – we have a recipe I developed called ‘BBQ al a Bambi.’ and the gators always seemed to come around just when you never wanted them too. Talk about the worst manners at a pool party and such, my friend always joked about gator tail soup – UGH!!!

      Snowleopard3200, My nickname is Bambi – you’ve hurt my feelings (kidding). Tried to ditch the name in elementary school but never worked. You must have been in the service in Pensacola? We are over run with gators now so they have raised the limit that can be permitted. Fried gator is “hot” here in FL – never tried it but my boys like it. Never had deer (just couldn’t quite do it) either but kids have and think its great. None hunt but oldest is shooting instructor with Appleseed Project. Hope all is well in AZ and you’re sipping some great tea!
