I saw the same thing......about 15 seconds in you can see it run in front of the black car.....in my neck of the woods.....once one runs across the road.....you BETTER look for him to come back across......it happens all the time.

I don't think he touched the brakes.

Be thankful it wasn't a moose...

Well, on the bright side, the corvette driver is a FST LRNR, so it'll probably never happen again.

I like how the only thing that came through the window was the deer's head. Tried to give the driver a kiss goodnight before it's long sleep.

The Corvette being so low slung helps a lot too, a buddy of mine hit a deer with his G8 and it basically slid up the hood and into the car, left hair blood and guts all over and flew out the rear window.

If it was a moose, it probably wouldn't even have smashed the windshield.
