That always sucks. The one we hit almost made it across the road in front of us, but we hit it pretty hard on the rear, and it flipped twice I think and landed off the road. It got up and hobbled into the woods. I got out of the car and heard it in the woods thrashing around a short distance away. I felt heartsick for it. I didn't have my handgun on me that day. If I'd had it, I would have went in and ended its suffering.
Glad you and your family are okay. The one I almost hit caused me to swerve into the other lane and if anyone would have been coming at me, I guess I would have tested out my airbag.
