A video of a driver's close call with a deer was caught on the Michigan State Police cruiser's dashboard camera. The video shows three deer sprinting across a road at night and a narrow escape for a driver driving in front of the police cruiser. The video shared by the Michigan State Police Fifth District shows how a deer pulled an acrobatic stunt to save itself from a collision.
The Michigan State Police handle along with the video wrote a lengthy caption telling followers how to avoid deer while driving. Fall has arrived, with that comes the infamous increase of Deer crossings. Watch here as Tpr. Anderson encounters a small herd & uses quick braking to avoid contact. Reminder: If deer cross your path - apply controlled braking; steer straight; don't swerve."
