If you weren't there to kill it then it's not safe to eat. You have no idea what happened before you got there.

Even if you were the one that hit it, it may have chronic wasting disease and you wpuld have been unable to observe its behavior before hand. Eating roadkill, especially deer, is a terrible idea.

We're not even sure humans can catch CWD. Unless you're in an area where it's prevalent, I wouldn't sweat it.

Agreed, unless you witnessed the hit from another car.
