Hit by a car at 75mph, embedded in the grill, rode for 600 miles - and
SURVIVED!


When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph, they assumed they had
killed the animal and drove on.They didn't realize this was the toughest
creature ever to survive a hit-and-run. Eight hours, two fuel stops, and
600 miles later they found the wild animal embedded in their front grill -
and very much alive. Daniel and Tevyn East were driving at night along
Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah border when they noticed a pack of
coyotes near the roadside. When one of the animals ran in front of the car,
the impact sounded fatal so the siblings thought there no point in stopping.
"Right off the bat, we knew it was bad," Daniel explained. "We thought the
story was over." After the incident around 1am, they continued their 600
mile drive to North San Juan - even stopping for fuel at least twice. But it
was only when they finally reached their destination at 9am did they take
time to examine what damage they may have sustained.


At first it looked as though it was going to be quite gruesome. "[ Daniel ]
saw fur and the body inside the grill," Tevyn East said. "I was trying to keep
some distance. Our assumption was it was part of the coyote - it didn't
register it was the whole animal." Daniel East got a broom to try and pry
the remains out of the bumper and got the shock of his life. "It flinched,"
Tevyn East said. "It was a huge surprise - he got a little freaked out."
"We knew it was bad":

That's crazy!

I bet that was a warm ride

Wow tough animal right there he deserves a stress free life in a zoo. One question why did they not stop and check out the damage after they hit the animal ?

That's crazy!

That is a lucky dog.

I dont know, a few years back a young couple pulled into a little store out here in the country said they had a problem. We all went outside to see, they had a small 8pt in their grille of a olds cutlass and he was still alive also.

Thats one yote that deserves to live, for now.

This seems fake, where did you get this story from? I have hit things at 70 mph and I would think that car would have had more damage and that yote seems pretty relaxed under the circumstances.

I've seen this several times in the last few years. Pretty sure it's a legitimate story.

Very impressive

Not trying to troll just seems pretty improbable.

Its on the internet, they cant put stuff on the internet thats not true. LOL

thats pritty awsome!

Where'd you hear that??... The Internet.... -_-

Unbelievable, I have never seen anything like that

Bonjour!

Don't think it's fake but these pics came across the webb a few years ago.

Probably put it into a pose and glued the eyes open.

75mph...I don't think so.

At that speed, with that much mass and inertia, something has to give; either the coyote or the radiator. And since neither were in too bad of a shape, given the circumstances, I would bet money on a speed more like 35-40. A 25 pound animal at 75mph is either going to explode or go through the radiator when hit head on...and in this case neither happened. What happened to all that energy? The radiator was still intact and the coyote didn't even have a bloody nose. Just my 2-cents.

He definitely deserves a free pass.
