Forest rats !
I’m glad everyone was ok in this collision. That deer had to be moving at a really good clip. I’ve been in almost a dozen deer collisions and nearly 2x that many more close calls- within 10 feet or less, including one in which a herd of does left across both sides of a divided highway, one of them t-boning my wife’s car - or so I thought. We heard the thud and saw the doe go sideways into the dark, but when we stopped, not a discernible scratch, scuff, dent or damage we could find. I hit one at 60mph head on in an Olds 98. Killed the deer DEAD, but bent up my hood, busted the radiator and mount, lost both front headlights and the surrounding trim... They’re a menace.
count your blessings, I’ve seen the results of a deer through the windshield; was riding rt. 9 in WV coming through a town and ground to a halt. Buck had leapt from high ground right into a minivan windshield moving at speed. Carnage was an apt description.
Body shop will have you squared away. Make sure you confirm body panel alignment once you get her back.
