that's exactly my guess

Yeah, thats what exactly looked like it happened. The raccoon gets hit and then I guess the impact was so much that it pushed the grille down, thus breaking the sensor and then the raccoon gets stuck/trapped in between. crazy, but true.

Damn! And I thought chipmunks stuffing my cabin air filter with acorns was bad. This definitely beats it by a mile

Those are some crazy pics. Stuff to tell your grandkids about when youre older...

I hate racoons, they always get in my garbage and hiss at my dog. When I see one, I try to hit it but theyre quick. You didnt even mean to and looks what happens.

(j/k, I dont try to hit animals)
