I had quite the morning today. I hit a deer on my way to work. Head on, full speed. It ran out full speed over a berm to the right of the highway. The berm was also covered in brush, so there was literally no way to see it until it was too late.
Luckily, nobody was around me, and I am totally fine. But my hood popped up, and the entire front is dented in. The radiator is bent up, and all the cosmetics on the front are ruined. I had it towed to a collision center, but the owner wasn't in today, so they're hoping he'll be there tomorrow to give me a call.
My dad was working from home today, so I ended up taking his car to work a few hours later. He's going to take me to work the next couple days and pick me up on his way to and from work.
I'm assuming my car is totaled, which isn't great. I just paid off my student loans a few weeks ago, so it's been a nice three weeks of being debt free. I'm assuming I'll have to get a new car.
I haven't had great luck on that stretch of road. For those that remember, I hit black ice while commuting to work one morning during my first year teaching. It ended up totaling the car. The two accidents happened about a mile from each other.
But all in all, I'm just happy that I'm okay. Not a scratch on me.
