Default Deer takes out UPS truck

UPS truck hits deer, flips on Route 30 | Westmoreland Co. News - WTAE Home

I wonder if the deer was paid by FedEx to do this.

I hope the driver will be OK.

I heard it was a purple-tail deer!

I wonder if the driver honked at regular intervals.

It could be the deer's fault.

It may have failed to use an approved deer crossing location.

or,

The dummies who put up the deer crossing signs put it in a high vehicle traffic area that really isn't a very good spot for one.
