My X5 And Two Deer
MY X5 AND TWO DEER
Well, it was late Saturday night and my wife was getting ready to pick up our daughter at the Del Mar Fair grounds. My daughter just turned fifteen and is working her first summer job at the fair. My wife stated she was almost out of gas in our Lexus GS400 and she knows I don’t like her to run the Lexus low on fuel, it’s bad for the car, so I told my wife to just take the BMW X5.
I really can’t say how I knew, but I felt that night something was going to happen- and it did. My wife called me about 20 min. after leaving and she was pretty shook up. She had taken a route over the mountain on Del Dios Highway. Del Dios Highway is a dark, winding, two-lane road through scenic Rancho Santa Fe. She was driving @ 50 mph and out of nowhere, two deer just ran out in front of her. She stated she never even took her foot off the gas, she just blew both of them off the road! The X is truly a safe ride, if she was in the Lexus the deer might have just went right through the front window.
I am truly happy my family is safe. Now I’m working with the insurance company to get my baby fixed.
I will add photos soon.
