He's lucky to be alive....tree's don't give unless they are small. He really did a number on his truck. I'll pray for him.
Looks like he was flying down the road.
Thankful he didn’t hit a bus load of kids or something.
eta: I’d of been telling them that was my favorite tree my grandfather planted when he recovered from polio as a kid and that fence cost me about $12K to install.

You could be right it was around 50 years ago and my memory is getting shorter as the days go by.I don't think you ever heard Red Skelton use that kind of language. You are thinking of Redd Foxx.
He's going to be miserable for a week or two or longer. Impacts like that and the chances of internal injuries are extremely high, seat belt or no seat belt. He's an idiot for not going by ambulance to get checked out. Hopefully he went on his own later.
It was definitely Redd Foxx. I heard him tell the same joke.
I remember 50 years ago pretty clearly. Can't remember what I did yesterday that well....
That is the standard course of action for animals and I believe what is still taught in driver’s education. Never swerve to miss an animal.
I had a buddy in high school that would swerve to hit a possum or the like. Our first deer hunting trip last year, a buck ran into the side of his Tahoe. We were doing 65 mph. My buddies first comment was, “well, I got my first deer of the season”.
When teaching my middle daughter how to drive, laws and common sense rules, I always told her to never swerve to miss an animal. A puppy or kitten isn’t worth your life or someone else’s.
She had been driving about 6 months when she and her sister came home one afternoon and little sister screamed, “We hit a deer!” Of course I jump up and look at them to be sure they were okay, then went out to survey the damage on the truck. No damage. I asked how big a deer was it and what part of the truck did she hit it with. Her response…
”It was an average size doe and I didn’t really hit it. It was already dead and lying in the middle of the road so I ran over it. I remembered what you said about never swerving to miss an animal.”

Some things i can remember real well while others that wasnt really that important not so much, and after i reached the age of 20 music and radios feel to the unimportant section and hardly listened to either and still to this day i never turn a radio on and very seldom a tv.It was definitely Redd Foxx. I heard him tell the same joke.

I refused an ambulance ride several times they finally told me the ride was free, took the ride, think that free ride cost me about $5,000
kind of rare for coons to be out in the daylight
