Saw two dead this morning down in Aransas Pass. I hit a deer a couple years back and it did $4500.00 worth of damage to my truck. Hate to see what damage one of these big pigs do.
I have a friend that hit one in a Toyota van.
600 lb boar.
Insurance company totaled the van.
Warped the sub-frame and did so much other damage...wasn't worth fixing.
Popped all the air bags, broke the windshield, both side glasses, side sliding door wouldn't open, etc, etc.
My friend suffered a broken wrist and a badly bruised sternum.
He related that he had seen it standing in the road, but did not take extreme evasion actions, thinking "how bad can it be, to hit a pig?".
He remembers wondering, while waiting for the ambulance, if he had not really hit a huge white rock in the road.
He'll avoid them next time.
