Of all the freaky things that could happen during evening rush hour traffic, getting headbutted in the face by a deer that jumped through your driver's side window might just take the cake.
Andy Cairns of Haslett says a deer crashed right through his car window on Marsh Road in Okemos. The deer jumped around the vehicle, then exited through the back window, leaving Cairns knocked out and with a mouthful of deer fur and glass.
"I had hair in my mouth right away, hair everywhere. Glass pieces everywhere too," Cairns says.
Even the day after the accident, there's still fur and glass everywhere-- even the cup holders in Cairn's Ford Taurus are full of deer fur and tiny glass bits from the windows.
The backseat is the worst; it looks like the deer lost half its fur here in there. Huge clumps of the fur are all over the seats and floor. There's even deer blood on a tissue box.
Deer-car accidents are typical-- but this one is a whole other ball game.
"An animal, basically 150-200 pounds, flailing in your car and getting out with reckless abandon is never good," says Jim Rossman, who works at Vision Collision, the body shop that will repair Cairns' car.
Miraculously, Cairns is just sore, with no major cuts-- can't say the same for the deer.
Fortunately, the deer was the only fatality of the freak face-to-face encounter.
