Got that right. I've lost 3 cars (admittedly over 20 years) to deer vs my car. Deer were dead almost immediately (probably my lead foot). Two bounced off the corner of the car, crunching it in pretty well, and were deflected to the berm of the road.
But one hit the middle of the front bumper, crumpled the middle of the hood, flew over the hood and impacted the top of the windshield and the roof. It broke a 18" hole in the windshield in front of my face. I am glad I wore nerd glasses then; after the accident I looked in the mirror and had shards of glass in my face. It looked like I had measles with the red blood spots. That would have been my in eyes without the glasses.
That time I was on I-70 in western Pennsylvania - and my speed was about the same as the route number. If it had hit any lower, the deer would have gone through the windshield instead of over the car (whereupon it removed the luggage rack from the roof and spread my belongings across the road to be ground into the pavement by passing trucks.
Deer is the deadliest animal in the USA (excluding homo sapiens, of course).
