Deer Crashes Through Patrol Car Window In Bizarre South Carolina Accident

The cops tried to arrest the deer and it went wrong.

A South Carolina cop escaped injury Monday night when a deer, struck by another motorist, went airborne and crashed through a patrol car window, landing in the cruiser’s front seat.


According to cops, a Dorchester County Sheriff's Office deputy spotted the deer approaching the road on a highway outside Charleston. As the deputy stopped his vehicle, another car hit the deer, sending the animal into the air.


As seen in these police photos, the deer smashed through the cop car’s windshield, landing in the passenger seat.


Neither the deputy or the other driver sustained serious injuries. The deer was killed in the collision.

The deer didn't make it.

Could have been a lot worse if the deer had come through the driver's side of the windshield.

Crazy event.

They know it is a fresh kill- the police should have a cook-out.

Hope they don't waste the venison...

I used to live in Indiana. There was a law there which allowed you to keep a deer if you killed it with your car. That was the first time I ever heard of keeping a road kill.

I think that is the law here too.

Typically to keep the deer meat you must report the accident to authorities. And then receive a permit/waiver to process the deer.

I don't know the details. Luckily I have never hit a deer, although I have had many close calls. The deer are stupid- it is like they run into the light (headlights).
