my husband ran over something

Good thing it wasn't a moose, it could have killed him if it was. I was not in the car in this following story, but my brother was and the whole family talked about it for weeks xD. So my mom and older brother were picking up my sister or something. It was dark out. So when they were driving home, something ran into (YES ran INTO) the car. It turned out to be someone's dog. I find that funny but also very sad because the dog did die I believe. Weird story eh?

Do you suppose he killed the animal? Couldn't he have pulled over? I don't think I have ever been in a car that has run something or someone over. But there was this one time that I saw a squirrel get hit by car.

I'm glad your husband wasn't hurt. It must have a pretty hard hit to destroy your radiator! It is definitely bad timing so close to Christmas. A bit of good luck/bad luck. I have been very lucky because I've had some very close calls with a variety of large animals. The only animal I've ever hit was small. It was a rainy night and all I saw was a streak of brown fur before I heard a thump. I assumed by the color of the fur it was a rabbit. I stopped the car and looked but I couldn't find it. I don't know how badly it was injured but it survived the hit so hopefully it just got a bruised butt and recovered. Fortunately there was no damage to my car either.

I've been really lucky. The only time I've ever hit an animal (that I know of) was when a pigeon landed right in front of one of my tires. Just as well. I'd be feeling awful if I ran something over. The bird was bad enough.
