Because they have such long legs they often roll up the hood and into the front seat.
Wouldn’t be surprised at all that those in a smaller car were killed.
Friends were driving back from Fairbanks and hit a moose...took out their windshield and the front of the van. They escaped serious injury (the van rolled on its side) because it was a van and a little higher up.
We had moose in our yards all the time the 20 years we lived in Anchorage, but thankfully never had a car - moose encounter.
