I can see your problem and the accident clearly had nothing to do with the car. The problem is that you live in Pennsylvania! I lived in State College (Penn State) for three years, 2004 - 2007. There are more friggin forest rats in that state than other any place I've ever seen. I had a 45 mile one way drive to work and I'd see a new deer/car accident on average every day. Deer were roadkill everywhere. I80, secondary roads, residential areas...it didn't seem to matter. And what really amazes me is that Central PA has a huge hunting culture. Everybody hunts deer. And there's still a gazillion of the damned things bouncing off cars and trucks. I'm still amazed that the stupid things will run like hell from a dog or coyote but seem utterly oblivious to a huge, noisy, 4,000 lb mass of steel hurtling toward them day or night.
