Watch This Deer Crash Into a College Runner During a Race

“Watch out for the deer!” Came the warning cry from someone at the NCAA Division III Mideast Regional Men’s Cross Country Race. Indeed, there were several deer running across the course at very fast speed, and the racers needed to take caution.

Justin DeLuzio of Gwynedd Mercy University either did not hear the warning, or could not adjust in time. Either way, he got leveled.

In the video above, you can see DeLuzio knocked flat on his back by the hard-charging deer.

“Oooh shit,” someone said.

Fortunately, DeLuzio, though bruised, was not seriously hurt. He got up and finished the eight kilometer race in 31 minutes and 16 seconds.
