On the way home, Mom & Megan were in the silver car coming home on Woodfield Road near Log House Road, when all of a sudden a small short deer jumped in front of the car. The sudden swerves and maneuvers were not sufficient to avoid the deer. So the poor deer collided with the car and was knocked down to the road. After returning home, we called the Animal Control department of the police department. They came to take care of the animal. Our car insurance was very helpful and generous in helping us fix the front hood and bumper of the car in a very timely manner.
