I had a small accident on the way home from work tonight. I’m fine, and the car is mostly fine, only a little bit of body damage. I hit an animal of some kind. I guess it was a deer, that seems most likely. I was driving home after dark (this was a little before 6pm) and all of a sudden, something just barrels into the left side of my car. Like I said, it was dark, so I’m not 100% sure what kind of animal it was, but a deer wouldn’t be unusual around here, I see enough of them by the side of the road.
I stopped and checked the car, then backup up a bit to confirm that it was an animal at least. The damage to the car isn’t too bad. A few dents and scratches down the side. The worst of it is just in front of the driver’s door. The metal there got pushed in and you can see into the inside of the door, and the metal above the front left wheel well got pulled out a little. I’ve got an appointment Tuesday morning to get it looked at by an adjuster so I can get it fixed.
