Two crazy stories involving deer crashes

Police in Cottonwood Heights, Utah, report a deer dashed into rush-hour traffic Tuesday and leapt onto a moving motorcycle, knocking the cyclist off — while the animal continued to ride the bike.

The 19-year-old rider, who was wearing protective gear, slid along the roadway and suffered little more than road rash.

The doe was disemboweled by the crash and later died from injuries.

Police Sgt. Scott Peck described the incident as “kind of a first.”
