Happen to me once but, it was a skunk. No body damage but, he did spray underneath my car as I ran him over. The smell came through the vent for weeks! Hopefully everything will be back to new again...

I'm sorry to say you lost. That raccoon definitely won, cause his insurance isn't gonna pay for the damage
