I didn’t mean to!

It was an accident.

The little sucker just darted out and threw itself under my tire.

I never had time to react!

Can rodents be suicidal? I think he planned it.

A lady near here Monday swerved to miss a turtle, rolled her car and killed herself... hit the chipmunk.

Once hunting I was off on a shot and my arrow stuck the deer in the gut...chased the damn thing for an hour and a half...luckily there was snow and the blood trail was clear. Luckily it bled to death before I found it.

I have hit a deer in a truck, much easier...

Several years ago this lady swerved to avoid hitting an already dead cat. She hit the cop beside her, who ran off the road and flipped his car. That was interesting.

i have seen the damage that animals have caused when a car veers off to avoid hitting them.
i love aniamls, but if its a chipmonk or my $20.0000 car?

well you do the math.

Suicidal chipmunks, it happens.
I hit a bird playing chicken once, it hit my antenna, left a string of guts a foot long.

After that, a friend of mine would lean out the window and shout.."get outa the way, he's killed before and he'll do it again", every time she saw an animal near the road.

There was a great "Far Side" comic showing a dog dashing between cars, then his pals congratulating him on making it into the club. From my own observations, I think chipmunks have one of those clubs, too. Guess your little guy didn't get in....

This morning while driving along a duck and about 6 little ducklings were trying to get across the road, stupid ducks. I think someone acutally stopped and put their hazard lights on to let them get across, lol

they did it here in NYC. when the ducks crossed the road to get into the park they closed it off until they were safe.

Jeez, caused a backup and possibly an accident... if you are over 30 mph, keep driving.

In Gatlinburg Tn if you hit a duck it's $500 fine, if you hit a pedestrian it's $50.

I've actually seen the ducks in the commons. For some reason they don't move much, compared to other ducks I'eve seen.
