WRX Hit by a Deer - 2/4/2025

This morning, I was on my way to work driving east on US Route 33 towards Athens.  I was in the left lane near the Athens Messenger offices when I noticed the traffic in the right lane slowing down.  I then saw a group of deer on the right edge of the road.  Just as I was breaking hard to slow down, one of the deer ran towards me and attempted to jump over my car, but instead collided with the right front fender, front door and windshield.  I continued slowing down and moved to the left towards the median, and as I did, I surmised that the damage to my car was not so severe that I wouldn't be able to continue driving safely.  I drove the last mile or so to work and then surveyed the damage.

After further inspection, I found that the damage not only included the front fender, front right door and windshield but also the hood and left rear door also sustained less severe damage.


Now it is up to In-town Body Shop to restore my new car to its original condition.
