After the officer got her out of the car and made sure she was OK, he went over to the deer which was alive but laying in the ditch. He put 2 rounds in the side of the animal's head to put it out of it's misery. Unfortunately the woman who had just had the worst auto accident of her life got to watch this happen right in front of her!


I laughed a lot the first time I heard the story, but then thought about what that must have been like for her..

Living around here, I have a lot of close calls with deer, probably have to evade one 2 or 3 times a season.

Shumi this happened inside the town limits of South Hill VA., I don,t think the police could shoot the deer.

I dodge 2 or 3 every night.
