[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope it is not the case that they found the man's body entangled in the car the next day.  That has also happened before.

And it usually involves a person driving drunk.  [/quote]

The state has already confirmed that the body was discovered Sunday morning out near the crash site.  The body was not entangled in the car.

This article by a local news team has more info than most of the major sources which seem to be basing their articles on a wire posting.

That article isn't the best writing, but this jumped out at me:

"On Monday, the South Dakota Department of Public Safety said Ravnsborg reported hitting a deer with his 2011 Ford Taurus to the Hyde County Sheriff’s Office after the crash at 10:30 p.m. Saturday."

I find it incredibly strange that you'd call up the Sheriff's Office and tell them you hit a deer.[/quote]

That's what I thought.

I've hit deer twice, both times the deer managed to flee--just clipped them and they managed to get away, couldn't find when I stopped.. My son, who drives a lot for work, has hit 3-4 and had several near misses. People do report if they want permission to take the carcass and I guess if the carcass is in the road and creates a hazard you would call--but in those cases you'd also stick around to make it easier to locate the animal. Or if you had damage to the point where you couldn't drive the vehicle. If you hit and keep on going what is the point unless you're trying to make a cover story?[/quote]
