    Legacy, who was driving at the time, saw the moose’s front legs strike Deveau at least twice in the head as the dying animal tried to get its limbs off the car, he said.

    It’s amazing she’s alive at all! What a horrible accident.

    Didn’t Mythbusters do an episode on this exact topic?

    It was horrifying how much damage the test car and human analogues sustained. Can’t imagine it happening for real.

      Ya, it’s never pretty. They are so tall a car will just knock the legs out and the moose will either go through the windshield or land on top crushing the occupants.
