I suddenly remember I have seen one that wasn't hit, I almost hit it myself! I was driving home from work late at night and one trotted out into the road in my headlights. I wasn't going very fast so I was able to brake and it ran on across.

I'd actually be a lot more nervous if I ran across one in full daylight, same with a skunk or a racoon. They are all nocturnal species and I would fear rabies or sickness if I saw them out and about during broad daylight.
