by Mikaya ThurmondIt's a common occurrence for deer to run out in front of cars or even into cars, but what happened during an accident involving a deer, last week - was very uncommon. News Channel 9 crews spoke to a teen, who was inside a minivan when a deer flew into the windshield and was decapitated.       I'm just glad to still be alive and walking...words of gratefulness from 17-year-old, David Hendrix, who was involved in a bizarre car accident last week. The teen was riding with Todd Humbert, his Youth Pastor, and Humbert's family when tragedy struck in the form of a deer.I've heard from friends and they're just glad that I'm still alive and everything's fine, says Hendrix.The deer went through the windshield, over the front and middle seats and ended up in the third row of the vehicle. It was decapitated at some point during the ordeal. The driver of the van, Todd Humbert remains in intensive care along with his 6-month old baby girl.His wife, Michelle and their 4-year-old boy were also in the van, but are said to be okay. Hendrix says he was never scared for himself, only for his pastor. He's in the hospital right now. In ICU. They are going to wait until all the swelling goes down and then they are going to have reconstructive surgery on his face because he has busted eye sockets and a broken nose and dislocated thumbs too, adds Hendrix.But, the teen wasn't without injury himself. He was sent home from school after complaining of extreme headaches. I didn't even know I was injured, but they say I have a concussion now. I went to the doctor's today with Migraines and they said I've had a concussion for the past four or five days.
