Did anyone else hear about this? I was there (Fountainhead Park in Fairfax VA) but only heard yelling, did not see the incident. She (girl) is OK. I assume the deer is recovering nicely. Just wondered what the whole story was...

This is what happens when you allow human populations to grow unchecked.

Global warming has caused humans to expand their range. Thus, we are encroaching on the deer habitat. So, run ins like this will become more common, I suspect.

Deer sure are stupid sometimes. How does one run into a slow moving human? on a trail??? That's why you see their corpses littering the highways.

It didn't "tap" it? It fully "hit" it. That's pretty epic.

Someone who was there needs to tell the tale of when a deer cleared out the lead pack at NESCAC's (I think it was NESCAC's) years ago.

Deer ran full bore into the side of my wife's car a few years back. She was doing about 20mph, scared the crap out of her and left a huge dent. Not the smartest animals...

Fountainhead is a fun park to mountain bike in.
