..at 90 kmh a buffalo standing in the road tends to rush up rather quickly

Nobody says that the buffalo attacked. On the other hand, causing so much damage to the car and come out unharmed the buffalo must have hit the car with the horns -O-

We have had a few buffalo attacks on vehicles in Addo strangely enough. One the other week after a failed lion hunt - the buffalo was a bit cut up and very grumpy as a result... so took out its anger on the back of a vehicle
