7:10 AM this morning going East 74 mph on I-94 and suddenly three deer running in front of my car. One made it accross (at least the 2 EB lanes) I hit two, drove over one and bounced the other one. The deer lost, Volvo WON.

What a bang it went so quick no time to brake and I got lucky that one of them didn't go through the windshield and/or set off my AB. I'm not hurt at all except the prid eof my car.

Ruined RH lights, grille, hood, RH front fenter, passenger door, and windshield washer resevoir, and all sheet metal and plastic behind the lights, indicator, head & fog lights are completely gone, just a couple of pieces of glass in my "quart of oil" storage area (that is what I use the space behind my lights for).
I don't know if it did anything to my suspension, car seem to be tracking pretty well, but wheel is vibrating/out of balance.

We'll see what the body-shop comes up with. Hopefully the car is worth more as it is too good of a DD to put it to rest.
I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
