That is a pretty amazing pic, frozenchief.
I have a similar story, though nothing as crazy as an eagle. I was on my way home a year or two ago on the county road going about 60. A hawk (red hawk, I think - the main one native to KS) swooped down from high up where he had been sitting watching for prey. The sucker flew right in front of my truck and I heard it slam into the grill. As I'm watching this whole thing unfold, I just couldn't believe that was happening. I mean, this is busy road so I would think that animals would be weary of vehicles but nope.
I looked around but didn't see it anywhere so I thought it might be stuck in the front grill of my truck. I was only about 1/2 mile from home so I figured I would just check it when I got home. At home, I got out of the truck fully expecting to see a bloody hawk carcass stuck to my truck but I was kind of surprised to find that there was nothing. I have no idea what happened to that hawk. Next time I drove on that strip of county road, I looked around for a dead hawk but didn't see anything.
