Stay alert: Steer clear of deer during rutting season

Diane Schmidt of Cary was westbound on Three Oaks Road near Cary-Grove High School when a doe jumped in front of her car.

“I slowed down,” she said. “But I hit the baby.”

The fawn collided with the bumper of her car, went toward the windshield and rolled off to the side, Schmidt said. Its legs were broken, and a police officer killed it.
