Glad for you that tragedy was avoided. I had a similar heart-stopping, slo-mo, "Oh, CRAP! My car is toasted," coming around a turn on a lonely country road in WV at 35 at seeing a deer on the left side of the road pause then run ACROSS the road in front of me.
Brakes slammed, I'm guessing the margin of miss was similar to yours. I sat at idle for about 5 minutes before gathering to drive again.
I view these kind of events as blunt but "safe" reminders that God is in charge and watching over us.
