Car Crash!!
My brother, Aaron and I were 40 minutes from Rexburg when we hit a huge Elk and it destroyed the front end of my truck. A guy coming the opposite direction on the highway saw us hit it and he stopped to make sure we were ok and then he left. We were stranded 20 miles from any town and there was nobody in sight. The first thing my brother and I did was look at the damage, take some pictures and then we went looking for the Elk that we'd hit. It wasn't too far away. It was thrown 20-30 yards from the initial impact and was still breathing when we found it, however it died only a few minutes later. The Elk was full grown, weighing between 400 and 500 lbs. and had some huge antlers that were nearly 3 feet long. We waited in the truck for about an hour before the Sheriff was able to find us (we called the cops shortly after crashing). After the Sheriff arrived, we waited for another hour or so before the tow truck found us, then we waited another 30 minutes after the truck was loaded up on the tow truck, for my friends Brayden and Carlee to come get us. Our ETA, according to the GPS, was originally 9:30 and we crashed 10 minutes before 9. We didn't make it to Rexburg until midnight.
