Every year there are a few collisions between vehicles and moose. They're more often fatal for both the moose and the people in the car than collisions with other animals like deer or bears. Part of that is because the moose are bigger than most other things you might hit, but a bigger issue is where their weight is concentrated. A moose's belly is about 1m off the ground, so if you run into a moose with a car, you're likely to knock out its legs with your fender and hood, sending its 500 kg body through the windshield.

    One time I saw a car that had been hit by a moose. It looked like it had ran into a freaking brick wall. I seriously doubt there were any survivors.
