Wow, I think its a write off... I too hope no one was hurt. Sometimes you are better off hitting the animal, than a ditch or someone else. It becomes a comprehensive claim too.

I was the only one in the vehicle, was raining hard and a changed lanes to avoid a dear, started to hydroplane, hit a barrier and rolled 9 times

Only injuries were concussion, dislocated shoulder(done it enough times that it doesn't hurt much) a broken nose, and some road rash

Worst part of it all was I ripped my favorite pants

You only avoid a moose other than that anything is fair game. No offence to fido, bambi (name your pleasure) but it's my life than it's life.

Agreed, the road I live on is real bad for coyotes and deer. Ill slow down but I won't swerve unless I'm driving my awd and its dry

Happy you are ok! That sounds like a horrific accident!!! I'm always scared of deer on the highways, especially dawn/dusk. My parents hit one a few years ago, no time to react. Wrote their car off, but they were fine!!

Not to make light of the situation, but how do you know how many times you rolled? Nvm, I guess accident investigators would be able to determine that....so lucky that you basically walked away.

Finally a great representation of how I feel about my clownfish after doing tank maintenance

Ugg......never thought that when I brought my new fish friend home that I'd find a way to annoy myself because of it *sigh*

Now all I can think of when I look at the tank is:

A-well-a bird bird bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird bird bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a don't you know about the bird?
Well everybody's talkin' all about the bird!

A-well-a bird bird, b-bird's the word!
