There you are enjoying the holiday spirit with the family while you're going to Walmart wheeeen… oh my god you just hit a deer. Way to ruin Christmas for everybody, sir!
This next video was just posted on Live Leak today and reportedly shows dash-cam footage from Hogansville, Georgia. A motorist was going to Walmart with his whole family in the car, listening to the jingle bells song, probably thinking about presents and hot coco.
The driver's sun said "Look deer" and the next thing you know, it's right in front of the car. There's no time to react, but fortunately, the deer is only bumped a bit. It falls down, gets up and takes off as if nothing had ever happened. Rudolf here probably had adrenaline pumping though his system, so he didn't feel any pain until much later.
So kids, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer may not guide Santa's delivery truck this year. No worries, there's still Bruno, the brown nosed reindeer ready to take the job. He's less famous and works for minimum wage!
Jokes aside, car-deer collisions are a serious problem. In 2000, of the 6.1 million lightweight motor vehicle collisions reported in the US, 1 million involved animal-vehicle collisions, according to a document called "Nonfatal Motor-Vehicle Animal Crash—Related Injuries—USA, 2001–2002" and released by the US government. They lead to around 200 fatalities and a billion dollars of property damage every year.
