I hit her with my left front bumper and knocked her into the left grass shoulder onto her back. Didn't really phase my vehicle but I looked in the left rearview mirror and saw the pig on its back sliding along with 4 feet in the air. Quite funny!
When she was almost stopped she flipped onto her legs and hauled but back to the piglets, apparently not seriously harmed. I got home and checked my van and no damage there as well.

You might very well have killed her: I've seen all sorts of wild animals run off after being struck. They usually die within 50 yards of the road...
Often: it's the shock of the encounter, that kills them.
