Strictly Street Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, Utah (AP) - Authorities say a Utah deer was mortally wounded after she mounted a moving sport bike during rush hour. Cottonwood Heights Police Sgt. Scott Peck says the doe dashed into traffic about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday and leaped onto the motorcycle. Peck says the 19-year-old rider was knocked off and slid about 100 yards, while the bike kept going for about 300 yards.The deer was disemboweled by the impact, fell from the motorcycle almost instantly and later succumbed to her injuries. Police say the rider was wearing protective gear and appeared to suffer little more than road rash. Officers say they see about 50 deer-related accidents a year in Cottonwood Heights as the animals migrate through nearby mountains. But Peck said a deer mounting a bike was “kind of a first.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Actually Summit Point just had 2 racers hit 2 different deer ON TRACK. Didn't end so well for 1 deer and 1 rider, and better for the other pair. Rider ended up with pretty severe injuries and deer died then was shredded and ended up all over other people and their bikes. Other deer apparently was fine and ran off, bike was rideable but rider had minor injuries(I think a boken collarbone was the worst of this one). Things are nuts and probably even nuttier with all their imbreeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
