Hit a Deer

Here in NH we recently had a moose strike where the moose somehow became decapitated and the head went through the windshield and into the passenger seat. Such a mess I’ve never seen. Chunks of internal parts everywhere.

The good news on your vehicle is that based on the photo it looks like the unibody wasn’t bent out of wampus. The roofline and the quarter sections all look normal. It should be repairable back to like-new condition. Since the engine is transversely mounted, the hood would have crashed down onto the top/side of the engine rather than it’s front where the crank-driven components are, again a good thing. Although it might have crunched the alternator, that’s bracket mounted and would not have stressed the crankshaft or engine internals. .

You were lucky. It could have been far worse.

Sincere best.
