Deer Completes ‘Triple Axel’ Flip After It Collides With A Police Cruiser

A male deer was catapulted up in the air after colliding with a police car.

The rather acrobatic wild animal ran into Police officer Pittaluga’s cruiser in Visalia, Kentucky.

Kenton Police Department wrote on their Facebook page: ‘Over the weekend, Officer Pittaluga encountered a large deer while driving on Decoursey Pike through Visalia.

‘The encounter was less than cordial and ended as abruptly as it began.

‘We think this video is a pretty good training video on how to react when a four-legged furry friend attempts to abruptly cross your path.’

Luckily for all concerned, after completing a ‘triple axle over the hood’ - the deer appeared unhurt and ran off into the trees.

The Police Department added: ‘As for the deer, he appeared to brush off the incident before quickly running away into the woods.

‘We did place a call to Santa just to be sure this deer didn’t belong to him (we would hate to end up on the naughty list).

‘He was quick to point out that he employs reindeer and that, although this deer did appear to fly, it was not a reindeer (we still aren’t clear whether we will be making the nice list or not).’

Let’s hope Father Christmas is feeling charitable to Officer Pittaluga and his colleagues.
