If you reed the clipping it says an SUV hit the deer and thru it into her car. I would think that at any normal highway speed ( 55 ) it would be one hell of an impact. I have never hit a deer and hope to never do so. 2 years ago an retired gentalman was killed about 4 mile from my house when he hit a buck. The deer went right thru his windsheild of his pickup and killed him instanly. His wife, sitting on the pasanger side didnt get a scratch but had to see her husband die a horifull death right before her eyes. The rut is kicking in and the deer will be moving even more on everones road ways. Drive safe all.
