Deer makes surprise visit to Michigan collision repair shop

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - A collision repair shop in western Michigan that fixes cars after crashes involving deer got a surprise visitor from one of the animals.

Star Collision CARSTAR general manager Terry VandenToorn tells The Grand Rapids Press that the buck was spotted running down the sidewalk in Grand Rapids before it went into the business Tuesday afternoon. It came in through a delivery door and got stuck inside.

The buck ran round inside the shop before employees corralled it at the bottom of a set of stairs. While they were watching it, they took photos and video of the deer. Authorities responded, safely tranquilized the deer and took it away to be released.

VandenToorn joked that with hunters waiting in the woods for deer, "They should have just come here."
