Video: Deer Gets Launched by Another Car into Minnesota Sheriff's Deputy's Windshield

This deer actually got up and ran off from this accident!

We've already shared a few law enforcement dash cam videos of deer-vehicle collisions this fall, but this one is a little wilder than most. The Anoka County sheriff's deputy involved in this Dec. 6 incident wasn't even the one who originally hit the deer!

Watch the crazy footage to see the animal pinball from one car to the deputy's in the video below.

The deputy took some glass fragments to the eyes from his patrol car's windshield. Fortunately, the other driver didn't suffer any injuries.

As brutal as this collision looked, Anoka County Sheriff's Cmdr. Paul Sommer wrote on Twitter that nobody was able to find it after the wreck. He also posted photos of the aftermath.

Much like other law enforcement agencies dealing with this kind of collision, the department is using the moment to educate the public on the dangers of driving this time of year.

"Most deer collisions are unavoidable circumstances, but all drivers should be as cautious as they can when traveling in open, wooded areas," the sheriff's office wrote on Facebook.

Sounds like good advice, especially since the rut still isn't quite over in many areas and deer are on the move.
