During a backpacking trip last summer in Eagles Nest Wilderness, Colo., Kayla Whitehead captured this surreal video of a moose running out in front of a vehicle on Highway 9.
Several vehicles had stopped to watch the pair of moose that were walking along the road when the moose began to run out onto the highway.
A white vehicle slammed into the giant ungulate, sending it airborne. The car's windshield was shattered and it's front end damaged, but the moose was able to get up and limp away, according to Whitehead.
Whitehead posted the video to her YouTube channel, where it has since amassed nearly 1.8 million views.
"Be careful driving mountain roads- watch for wildlife," Whitehead said on her post. "When you see a bunch of cars pulled over near 'watch for wildlife' signs, there's probably an animal near the road."
