Same thing happened here in Harford County a number of years back. A buck went through the windshield of a pick-up and the guy driving was nearly kicked and gored to death by the deer. The deer escaped, but the guy wasn't expected to live. He did pull through though.

Now one of the kids died. it is a shame. Maybr prople will wake up and realize that deer are becoming a nuisance problem. Interfereing with driving and eating shrubbery and damaging property, yet sympathizers dont want any action taken against them. Wait until something happens to a friend or relative of theirs, then they will scream..
According to today's (mon Jan 5 ) paper the guy isn't making any improvements either. It is too bad, could happen to any of us with the deer populaation what it is. I use those deer whistles on my vehicles, I hope they work, might not have helped in this kind of situation whereby the deer was hit by another vehicle first. Stay Safe ....
As a 22 yr former insurance adjuster, I handled thousands of "Deer Collision" claims. This is a very tragic 1st for me, and occured in the 1st state. No doubt a one in a million circumstance. Most injuries are sustained from side impact to a door glass being shattered by a bucks rack etc.
I wonder what all the Anti's up north are thinking after hearing this?
Two years ago this very same thing happened on the Baltimore/Washington Pkwy near the NASA property in Md where another woman was killed by the deer comeing through the windshield. I was hunting there that day and heard all the sirens and stuff but didn't know what happened till that night.
Sad stories but anything can happen. I was driving to work several years back on Rt 83 near the 17th or 19th street exit. Morning rush and a huge buck jumped out (kicked out by some rail workers) onto the highway. 1 jump in front of a Ryder truck and then lost its footing and went down in front of my pick-up doing 60mph. Thought it was over. Somehow I had the presence of mind to keep the tires away from the rack and maintained control of the truck after going airborn when I hit the deer. Almost peed myself after a 500 ft fight to get control and get to the side of the road. It was a shame. That buck was a wall hanger for sure. You just never know where or when.
