Hey everyone! Yes, I am okay I was shaken up last night and not the happiest person in the world, for sure. The car is damaged pretty good on the front and passenger front quarter panel.

Pics of the carnage:




The deer and the accident scene:





I was going between 40-43 mph during a EOnC down a small hill. It was foggy and in a creek bottom, surrounded by picked corn fields on both sides. From the impact spot, I measured that the doe was thrown 75-80 feet from the impact.

The car can be repaired. There is no frame damage, I would have to replace the plastic bumper and front panel, maybe the hood too. Also all the headlight and marker assemblies.

Funny thing is that both my HID bulbs work despite the destruction around them
