Deer destroyed after leaping onto train

Unread post by BB »

A young deer apparently leapt from the I-15 overpass in the Sixth Ward area to find itself atop a boxcar last week.

"The wardens transported the carcass to the wildlife center, where it was fed to the few bears that hadn’t yet gone into hibernation."
