That is just freaking crazy!

On top of that, I started looking at these pics thinking this must have happened in Canada or something. Then I see it is Colorado. I live in the North Denver area! Better start watching out for elk!

Poor Elk RIP

Glad to see the car lives on though!

She should've looked both ways before crossing the road...those deer can be real jerks.

Scary stuff. Pretty impressed at how well the cabin structure held up. We have a lot of close calls and crashes here in Ontario with deer and moose. I can't imagine what must have been going through your head for those few seconds of chaos...

Frak me, that is a crazy crash!

Glad you and your kids made it out in once piece!

This was my thought as I browsed through the photos. After years of people bashing BMW cup holders, the ones in the E90 really came through in the "crunch."

I'm very glad the passengers came through (the crash) as well, it seems, as the Gatorades did.

Is there an F30 in the future plans of the OP?

The crash didn't do significant damage to the bumper. Look at the pics. So no airbags.
