There are so many deer around us here in northern GA, but I never thought two would literally run into our 550i in broad daylight on a busy road.

My wife and daughter were driving on a parkway going probably 45mph, and a doe and baby ran into our driver door and rear passenger door. The doe got up and ran off, but the baby was down. Never saw them coming...really unpleasant.

Geico is already prepared to fix tomorrow (less than 48 hrs from the incident, nice).

I have to keep remembering, family is fine , it is just a car.

A week ago I saw a deer on the side of the road, and told my daughter, "Look a Deer !!! "

When I was about about 5 feet from it, it just jumped in front of us.

Bad news, Killed the Deer.

Good news, Nobody hurt, other than Bambie...

Even better news, I was in my Chevy Trailblazer.

The 525i was home in the garage.
