With the stop action you can get all the gruesome details.

That didn't look like any 160, I think it was more like 130

Wow, it must suck for that guy. I wonder what his insurance will think, haha. I've heard of the bird getting sucked up into the WRX hood scoop, but this is a first for me.

The bird was too soft to have gone through the windshield. If it were a rock...

An Evo can do 180mph?
