Say it was the size of Corsica and traveling at the speed of a reversing truck and bumped into a land mass. Would it still be an extinction level event?

Maybe it comes in at such an extreme orbit that it boops without falling straight down?
It would deflect off the atmosphere like a stone
Which is worse? Getting hit with bird poop while standing still, or while riding a motorcycle down the highway?
Air resistance would slow it down so it’s falling at 11m/sec, or it would tear it apart
