idk but it was huge I Seen it climb over the medium and boom. when I hit it is didn't seem that bad the car barely moved. it doesn't help I may have going a little over 99 mph it was at 5 am on empty roads
Well there you go. I didn?t do well in physics but something about that meter per second per second mass thing leads me to believe hit anything going fast enough is bad. 10lb raccoon shoved into car at 100 mph you got off easy tbh.
Yeah I'm glad I got off this easy and it's only "minor" it could have gone way worst but I'm still sad I hit that raccoon and it did what it did to my front end
Not so much for you but for others reading this. Always hit the animal! If you can?t safely stop don?t swerve into traffic to avoid an animal and end up killing people. I once heard about a woman who killed her kid by running into a telephone pole after swerving to miss a deer. It sucks but it?s the lesser of two evils.
