That's crazy man. I know a guy that was on some back country roads heading to a party with his s1o blazer full of people. When they came over a hill, there was a huge cow in the middle of the road. Well the blazer was completely totalled and the cow was ready for steaks. It was pretty crazy. The farmer was pissed at him for hitting it. Good thing they didn't roll and no one got hurt. But I can't even amagine running over an aligator.
