More than my wife thinks I need.
Yes, the title is 'click bait'. ;)

 
One of those jaywalkers hit my truck. The damage included a fender, grille, radiator, bumper, side marker light, and hood. Fortunately a dna sample was found for any future prosecution as the deer left hairs in between the front tire and the rim.

All I know is that jaywalker was tired. Had I realized the jaywalker would get up and leave the scene of the accident they would have also been exhausted after I backed over them.

I had to fill in a report. I had to be as honest as possible.

"I was sideswiped after dark by a jaywalking deer that was not wearing reflective clothing.
The deer then left the scene of the accident against state law."

I only tried to tell the complete truth about what happened. I think I got it right.
 
my brother hit a deer on his motorcycle one night. luckily he was wearing full gear and landed in wet grass/mud, so he just got a few bumps and bruises. dad accused him of driving too fast for conditions, till they got to see the bike the next day and saw deer fur stuck in the headlight trim and under the tank cover.
