The deer should have looked both ways.

That is likely the speed limit on most 6 lane roads in MoCo. The deer should have known better! They put those deer crossing signs up for them. If he was not in a designated area, he was at risk.


Just because the speed limit is 35 DOES NOT MEAN YOU *MUST* DRIVE 35!!!!


A lower speed for the conditions is prudent. If there are deer everywhere then 35 is NOT a reasonable speed, is it?

Duh….

As others have said, call your insurance.

Rockville is full of deer unfortunately. The city has been considering a limited cull but a lot of people have been pushing back. They're everywhere.

Call insurance. They will tell you what to do. Sorry for your loss ( and for the deer).

I guarantee you your 2009 Honda Fit with 165k miles is not worth 6k. Yes you call the insurance.

I love this car and it’s such a bad time to be buying a new one. So irritated. I’ll call insurance in the morning.

Call your insurance. Given it’s age, they should total it.

I hit a deer tonight in Rockville going 35-40 mph on a six lane road. Poor little bugger came out of nowhere from the side of oncoming traffic. The car is pretty smashed up but drove home OK. The car is a 2009 Honda Fit Sport with 165k miles. Seems to be worth $6500 or thereabouts. Is there any reason not to go through insurance? We have no accidents on our record and I know we have an accident forgiveness credit. Do I call insurance or take it to a shop first? This has never happened to me.
