Looked like the driver did a great job of covering his face just prior to impact.

That's Summit Point, where all sorts of livestock roamed the track. I hit a hedgehog at 110 mph going down the chute in my Porsche Cayman S. And once a guy hit a wild turkey coming up under the bridge--there were feathers everywhere for the rest of the day.

The locals usually keep an ear out for fresh Summit road kill during events. It is West Virginia, after all.
