Glad no one got hurt. One of fears living in South East PA. Hit one a few years ago in a Lexus LS430, amazing the damage that was done new fender/hood/bumper and the deer just walked away.
I could see this one laying in the road behind me, but when i turned around to pick up the mirror shell he was gone.
Well repairs started this week. Should be done soon! Things getting done are: New driver side mirror, driver side glass, new windshield and molding, new triangle trim. While it's there I am getting the nose, hood and headlight covers repainted. Should be better than before! I think the windshield is original to the 114k on the car so that will be a huge improvement. These are a couple of pics in disassembly...finished pics coming soon.
I hit a baby deer going 45 and it did absolutely no damage whatsoever to the car...I was and still am dumbfounded. I am guessing the fiberglass flexed just enough to launch the deer back off. It hit its head on my front left fog light side and was killed instantly. If it was a buck the same probably would not have happened.
Glad to read you're ok. I had an incident with a deer at about 15mph about 8 years ago. There was a car in front of me turning into a driverway, so I was slowing down when all of a sudden a deer tried to jump over my car(? I guess) and it came down with the front legs hitting the nose of the car, and slid up the A pillar, and left some snot on the windshield. It cracked the front end, so I had the have it replaced and painted. ($3800) I didn't notice at the time until about three months later that the hood must have "flexed" about 1/8". I never had it fixed, and a weather seal makes it almost unoticable, but I know its there. Good luck with the repairs.
