If you’ve ever driven the blue highways of northeastern Arizona then you know what the elk think of roads. They don’t. This incident reminded me of a late night drive from Colorado Springs to Phoenix with a rodeo buddy (same guy who sent me these photos come to think of it). We were told to watch our speed through these areas and doggone if we didn’t come around the corner to a whole mess of elk in the road. It sure woke us up that night.
Unfortunately the driver of the Nissan Murano wasn’t so lucky. Well, his car wasn’t lucky, he walked away with scratches, bruises and likely some soiled shorts. He took out seven elk according to the Forest Service worker who called a friend of the driver. ”He said that he has never, ever, seen anyone kill seven elk with one vehicle and walk away from it,” said the worker.
More photos after the jump.
Thanks Tyke!
