A sleeping student on a Powhatan County, Virginia, school bus got a frightening surprise on April Fools Day. Surveillance video shows a deer flying through the vehicle’s windshield and landing briefly on the student just after 6 a.m. Thursday.
After landing on the student seated in the front row, who appears in video footage to be asleep and crouching down, the deer frantically pranced around before bounding down the bus steps and out the open door of the stopped vehicle about 10 seconds later.
The school system said no one was hurt in the accident. The school bus driver said the deer appeared to be OK, adding “he is still running across the field back there.”
The only damage was a busted windshield.

The US later versions were bigger, but nowhere-near as reliable. The British "Kent" 1600 was only OK, and harmed the brand, IMHO.
:) I will say that my Pinto... as humble as it was.. got me to and from high school and college. In snow.. for whatever reason.. it did pretty well. Maybe because it was lower to the ground. Anyways, I lost it in a pretty bad wreck when I was 21. Some crazy (she was literally crazy) hit me head on. I cried for weeks at the loss. Hugs, Mom
