I hit a dog or coyote. Er, more accurately, ran over, since it came out from behind me. I was going about 35-40, it was around midnight on a street with no streetlights, and it just ran out. There was no way I could stop. I pulled over and the animal was gone.
It was a large animal, it caused a large bump and I can still remember the "Yip" when I ran over it. It left some hair, some poop and about $4,000 in damages on my front end.
I called the police because I needed to file an accident report, and they were the ones that suggested it could have been a coyote, since the area is known to have coyotes. I'm actually kind of glad it was gone when I pulled over, since it would not have been pleasant to encounter a pissed off coyote!!
The police told me I had to file a report with Animal Control, which I did, but no one ever returned my calls and I ended it there. My insurance ended up footing the whole bill, minus deductible, without surcharging me, and it took a month and a week to get everything fixed.
Needless to say, it wasn't a pleasant experience.
