Sadly, chances are almost 100% that the deer you hit will die. The amount of energy transferred into their body from a 3000 lb car going at almost any common speed moves like a shock wave thru their body crushing cells.
If it's any comfort the shock chemicals and endorphins will mean the deer feels very little, if he is lucky.
And there is always the chance of a glancing blow so far from organs or bones that it recovers from it with only severe bruising.
