We've all had moments where you forget something and blame it on memory loss, but never from hitting a moose. At least not that we can remember anyway.

It's an odd turn of events, a Canadian woman not only hit a moose on her way to work but drove some 40 kilometers after the collision, unaware that she had struck the wild beast. But this was no glancing blow. The force of the impact killed the moose, but not before it had shattered the windshield and peeled back the roof of the woman's Chrysler Sebring.

The woman was traveling on the Trans-Canada highway in Newfoundland, according to the report, when the accident occurred. When she arrived at work – on time, mind you – she had blood streaming down her face and was unaware of what had transpired. Her injuries included two broken bones in her neck, bruises, and a hoof print on her forehead!

It wasn't funny until I read "hoof print on her forehead". I couldn't help but laugh.

I hope she makes a full recovery.
