    Here's the story, in case you don't want to bother registering with the board it originally appeared on to see it -

    I was hoping to have a photos to go with this story, but a co-workers computer is not cooperating.

    As many of you know I'm a Police Sergeant. We were recently sent on a car vs. deer accident on I-75. We found that 3 deer had been hit at about the same instant: 2 on Southbound, 1 Northbound. I was helping other officers in removing the remains (picture morning rush hour traffic). One officer on the other side called for me to come over right away. When I got there I saw the lifeless body of a doe with grievous injury. Then I looked about 10 feet away, and there lay a newborn fawn...alive! I quickly wrapped it up in a blanket and wisked it to my cruiser (it was very cool and rainy this morning). Looking at the scene it appears that the fawn was "ejected" from the doe upon impact (sorry, trying not to be graphic). I rushed the fawn back to the PD and began to look it over and clean it up. It was PERFECT! Not a scratch! As I rubbed the fawn with clean towels she started to perk up. I was cleaning out her ears and she would wiggle them like it tickled. She even tried to stand up in front of us. It made quite a sight, a bunch of grizzled, "tough" cops standing around giggling, ooing and awing at "our" baby.

    We turned the fawn over to the state wildlife officer, who took it to a rehab center to be raised. He said she would be fine. She was extremely healthy and strong.

    I've been a cop for 13 years. I've never seen this happen before, and might never see it again. While I always hate to see the carnage, you do get used to it after a while. It's almost a daily occurrence here. But this little victory, and others like it, are what keep you going.

    Just thought I'ld share the experience.
