From: RL on 4 Aug 2006 12:25 On June 10th, at approx. 9:30 PM, Donnie (our club's Sgt. at Arms) was riding to work on a busy highway, when he hit a deer. He braked, he swerved and no matter what he did, he said that crazy doe just kept coming at him until they finally met. He said he stayed with the bike until it high-sided him and he ended up under the Harley, in the barditch. Somehow, with a busted hand, broken clavicle and other various and numerous injuries, he managed to push the bike off himself and stagger to the side of the road. A pickup with some teenagers had witnessed the accident. They called 911, helped him into the bed of the truck and the teenage girl stayed with him until Dr. Vardag, who was one vehicle behind, stopped to assist. She stabilized him and stayed until Careflight took our friend to an Abilene hospital, where after surgery and a week of recuperation, he was sent home to mend. It will still be a while before he can ride again but ride, he will. Dr. Vardag, who had transferred from Mt. Sinai Hospital, to the hospital in Breckenridge, Texas, was an extremely competent doctor and a very caring person. She had just accepted a job in south Texas and was on her way there, less than 2 weeks after having helped Donnie. Traveling the same road that Donnie had his deer accident on, Dr. Vardag's car was found overturned, after having run off the road and flipping several times. She died at the scene, that afternoon. The cause? A deer. -- Sunny Williams sunny will at tx vets period org IRPK, ISRA #7123, Deerslayers Director/Webmaster for Texas Veterans Assoc., Chapter 3 http://www.txvets.org/ "... if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." ~Teddy Roosevelt

I've never even heard of that race car driver.[1] And I guess your point is: we are not safe from deer anywhere. I've been saying that for a long time, ever since _your_ deer encounter.
