I feel like I was more traumatized than I should have been?

I hit a deer last week. It was absolutely awful. I got out of the car and looked at it to see if it was okay and it was dead. I was already crying and wailing and making a scene in the middle of the road. Some guy pulled up and dragged the deer out of the way and tried to console me but I was just a wreck. I could tell I was freaking him out.

Now I won't even drive on that road anymore. If I'm even in that area I go really slow and drive with my brights on.

I'm pretty sure I may have overreacted but I don't know. It all happened so fast and I felt terrible about having killed an innocent animal. The pain I must have caused it, and its family. I'm still pretty depressed about it. So was/am I overreacting?
