Lorelai's gymnastics meet finished up just as the sun was setting - which meant we had to drive home in the dark - on a two lane highway. Not ideal. Especially a two lane highway in the middle of deer territory.
We were driving briskly, hoping to make it back by 8:00, when two deer decided to cross the road. By the time we spotted them there was no possible way to stop - only to plow on through. One deer made it out of the way, but the other wasn't so fortunate.
Now I am driving a rental van and counting my blessing that none of us were hurt.

Such is life.
