Slow-Motion Replay of Teen Hitting Deer in Oregon

Jarod's parents bought him a brand new 2009 Toyota Matrix as a graduation present at Lithia Toyota of Medford, Oregon. He was selected by the dealership to receive a free Flip Mino HD camcorder to make a video of his new car experience.

Five hours after leaving the dealership, Jarod (17) was driving with his two friends along a beautiful deserted stretch of roadway near Mount Shasta, California when, out of nowhere, a young white tailed deer sprang from the bushes and jumped in front of the car. Unable to avoid the deer, Jarod hit the animal in a head-on collision. The camera captures both the accident and Jarod's reaction to the damage to the brand new car.

This is a replay of the accident in slow motion.

I hit 2 separate deer 5 miles apart the other night. Got to love living in a state where deer out number people. Oh well, not like my vehicle was damage with either hit.

me and my whole family hit a deer today, it was a giant buck...... $4500 worth of damage, but everyone was okay, and it was right on a busy highway, so about 6 people stopped to see if we were alright..... i'm gonna be having nightmares for a while though, and i'll never forget the shock feeling of hitting the damn thing at 100km, or about 60 miles.....
