PLANO, Texas — A Texas driver had an unexpected passenger when a deer trying to dash across a Dallas-area toll road crashed into his car and ended up in the back seat.
Christopher Coleman of Frisco wasn't hurt, but the deer died after smashing through his windshield.
Wednesday afternoon's incident was captured on security video along the Sam Rayburn Tollway in Plano.
Coleman said he noticed the deer on the side of the road, briefly "admired it" and then he heard a bang as the windshield broke and the animal entered his car. The deer ended up wedged behind the driver's seat.
Coleman said seeing the deer in his car "freaked" him out. He said he's amazed at not being injured and is just happy to be alive.
