**Road noise and loud stereos really can mask things like this.**

Highly unlikely. Anyone that unaware of their surroundings is to stupid to even drive.

Road noise would mask this? Sheesh.

Yeah, in Germany. But we’re talking the US here. ;)

“Police say the gold truck or SUV has damage to the front end and grill.”

If that turns out to be true, then at least the first driver is gonna have a hard time convincing a jury that they were unaware that they hit something.

Having hit deer with a van, I could hear the sound of the deer being hit, or scraping against the broadside of the car, despite the various noises around me. I could also feel it by how it jerked. I would assume a deer is comparable in mass to a woman in a wheelchair (75-150lbs?) if not slightly less, so I would have a hard time figuring if how I could feel myself hitting a deer with a minivan, how someone couldn’t feel their car or van hit a woman.
