It depends on the model of the wrangler and if you have plastic or steel bumpers.

If the buck your daughter hit was mid-leap the same thing would have happened to her. Stop being smug about a car wreck you know nothing about. And watch out for actual children, which is the danger inherent in higher vehicles.

Driving schools teach kids not to swerve and just hit the deer. Not to mention when they run out of the woods you have no time to react.

Jeep Wranglers aren't intended to be driven by pavement princesses.

So weird. You don't know how fast the Camry was going. You don't know what hit the Camry. Maybe it was a 12-point buck. Just be glad you're daughter is ok. And the Camry isn't the even best choice on fuel economy.

Of course she does. Only problem is trees on both sides of the road. When they run you just don't see them until impact. Do you live in DC??
