Did this happen in Wisconsin by chance? :-)
I grew up there and everyone knew someone who'd hit a deer but I can't say that I've ever seen something like this either

It was reported that it happened in Germany and that it was a deer but I thought that was too small an entry to be a deer-a fox makes much more cense. Sure would be a mess to get everything out (break out the pressure washer, Juergen!)

The guy was driving down the Autobahn and a fox ran out in front of him and he hit it (obviously) and it went through his engine.

What's more amazing is the driver controlled the car well enough not to further damage the car and managed to stop safely.

I'm glad you posted this because I was on the verge of retching until I saw a picture of Redd Foxx then I started laughing.

It's not right to feel both of those emotions so closely.
