recommend : 600-POUND COW FALLS OFF A CLIFF AND LANDS ON COUPLE'S BUICK

When a 600-pound cow tumbles 200 feet off a cliff on to your minivan, you aren’t really thinking about auto insurance.
At least Charles Everson Jr. wasn’t.
“I’m just glad to be alive,” the 49-year-old chauffeur from Westland said from his hotel Tuesday in Manson, Wash. “It’s raining cows out here, man.”
Everson and his wife Linda, 39, were in Washington celebrating their first wedding anniversary when the 1-year-old rodeo stock cow landed on the hood of their 2006 Buick Terraza. The couple had just left a nearby church service and were traveling along Highway 150, near Rocky Point on Lake Chelan, about a mile east of Manson.
“I saw something hit and heard a ‘Wham!’ It happened so fast,” Charles Everson said. “I actually thought it was a deer.”
Miraculously, Everson kept driving.
“All of the sudden I’m looking at it, and I tell my wife, ‘It’s a cow,’.” he said. “I kept saying: ‘I don’t believe it.’ I must have said that 20 or 30 times.”
Everson pulled over about a mile down the road. The minivan had extensive damage to the hood.
“I wasn’t really thinking clearly and then I realized that I better pull over,” he said.
Rescue crews took the couple to Lake Chelan Community Hospital for precautionary reasons. On Tuesday, Everson said he and his wife were fine.
“It was just a matter of inches,” he said.
Sgt. Mike Harris of the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday the animal, which had to be euthanized after the crash, was a Professional Bull Rider-registered cow.
“It was bred for rodeo,” Harris said. “It was not your normal cow in a field.”
A breeder had previously reported the cow missing, Harris said.
Everson said the breeder was extremely apologetic.
“He called me and said it had escaped from his ranch about a month ago,” Charles Everson said. “He really felt bad.”
Now, the couple is trying to figure out a way to get back to the Detroit-area. They had driven the Buick out west last week.
“We came out here for relaxation, a quiet time,” Everson said while laughing. “You could say this doesn’t happen every day.”

he pulled over a MILE down the road??

This reminds me of the time when I was living in SF bay area, the rain triggered a rockslide, and 20 ton boulder landed on a Mazda Convertible.

they were not as lucky.
