the sound of metal crumpling and the sight of an invasive species tossed into the air is something you don’t forget
in seconds, the road turns from peaceful to chaotic – invasive species and drivers both victims of speed and bad timing
cars are built for impact, but bodies of invasive species aren’t – the results are often devastating
headlights catch a flash of fur or feathers, then the collision is unavoidable
each accident is a violent meeting between human progress and the instincts of invasive species
some of these animals run as if they can outrun the car – they never stand a chance
the footage makes you flinch; you know the driver couldn’t stop, and the invasive species couldn’t understand
steel and bone collide, and neither walks away the same
many invasive species don’t survive the roads, and those that do often carry injuries for life
there’s a sickening moment of stillness after the crash – no movement, no sound, just reality sinking in
drivers are left shaken, invasive species are left broken – no winners here
invasive species accidents are a harsh reminder that roads cut straight through their feeding and breeding grounds
seeing a wild boar or deer crumple under the weight of a car is a gut punch, no matter how you feel about invasive species
