Abstract
A safety arrangement for a vehicle comprises a bonnet and at least one support member. In case of a collision between the vehicle and a large animal, the bonnet is supported from beneath by the at least one support member in at least a rear central portion, such that the bonnet forms a ramp for the large animal, the ramp being adapted to direct the large animal over a windscreen and/or a roof structure of the vehicle. A method of mitigating the consequences of a collision between a vehicle and a large animal may be employed in conjunction with the safety arrangement.
