Being in the insurance business and seeing this all the time, I am sorry to hear it happened to you.

NEVER try to avoid hitting a animal, especially at higher speeds. I can't tell you the number of times people have died when trying to avoid a animal in the roadway! Flipping over, hitting a tree, etc... I know, I wouldn't like hitting the animal either, but 90% of the time you will be better off not attempting evasive manuvers.

Glad to hear you and the Mrs. are ok.
