The Deer Encounter S70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be MN on  Wed Nov 12 11:08 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Given the deer population is on the move in central Texas, it was only inevitable that my S70 would encounter one. During the evening hours over the weekend, I ran over a deer that had just been hit by oncoming traffic. Hit the carcass at about 50MPH after getting off the gas. Didn't want to hit the brakes and cause the car to submarine. No opportunity to take extreme measures as there was a vehicle travelling next to me. The car handled the impact very well and upon inspection the radiator (leaking antifreeze) and skid plate (partially riped off) were damaged. Surprisingly, there was minimal front end damage. Vehicle was towed from accident site to the local Volvo dealer. Based on its initial estimate, the insurance company is looking to replace the above, paint the spoiler (minimal scratching) and align the car. The body shop is to inspect and estimate repairs tomorrow. Given the magnitude of the impact, should I be concerned about any damage to the turbo/intercooler, transmission, and/or suspension? Thanks for your help.
