Woman Goes for Jog, Gets Hit by Flying Deer

We all have something new to worry about: flying deer.

27-year-old Krystine Rivera was jogging by the side of Clairborne Parkway in Ashburn, Virginia when she was hit by an airborne deer.

It turned out the deer had been struck itself just moments before by a woman driving an SUV on the highway. The impact of the collision sent the buck soaring, unfortunately into Rivera, who said she never saw the deer coming. “I was running, then I was on the ground and then was listening to the paramedic,” she said. “I’m surprised I made it out alive.”

Both the driver and the jogger were hospitalized, but the deer did not survive.
