Dash Cam of Police Car & Deer

October 4, 2009

Not sure where this video came from but it does show how quick a collision with wildlife can happen. In my younger days I ran rescue and had a couple of close calls with deer at night when driving the ambulance. I did see the results of an ambulance after it collided with a large black bear in Northern Maine. The bear escaped but there was costly front end damage to the ambulance and it was disabled at the scene. It was some what unnerving for the crew that had a patient in the back on a medical transport and realizing that they would be on their own for a while till Maine State Police and a replacement ambulance was able to reach them.

This time of year the number of animal collisions rise especially involving deer so be careful out there.
