Hit a deer last Monday AM. Hauled it back on a flat bed yesterday. Believe the inertial safety switch tripped coming off of trailer. Charged dead batter and will test tomorrow.
Current tentative plan is for me to remove - hood, fenders, evaporator & AC related, radiator and related, headlights, headlight mounts and anything else required for access to replace radiator support. Body shop will cut out and weld in replacement support. Body shop will also do windshield. Then I'll complete the project.
Here are the pictures.

Two horn tips penetrated lower windshield.
Air bag deployed.
The bend in the upper radiator support begins at inside edge of headlight.
(Headlight is loose & mount broken, but it still burns.)
Overhead view of bend in upper radiator support
Driver's side - bend in upper radiator support begins about 1" from fender.
By the Numbers.
- Not damage - ordinary OEM design.
- The upper edge of the fender is straight. But right at this point you can see the a point of strain (circled in yellow) where the front cross panel connects.
- First point with a discernible inward bend.
- The front lip of the upper radiator support begins to fold under here.
- This is the point with the greatest downward fold.
- Note the rusted tear in the upper radiator support.
- The upper radiator support is pushed in toward the engine about 4"-5" here and the shroud of the electric fan is broken from hitting the head.
