has to be a first... a deer jumped over the median barrier, then jumped again, hit a semi while in mid jump, flipped off the fender went into the cab via the windshield




The driver didn't crash!

 A semi truck driver likely got quite the scare when a deer crashed through the windshield of his cab on I-5 in Tacoma Monday morning.

The driver told troopers he was heading north approaching the Bridgeport Way exit around 10:30 a.m. when a deer raced across the southbound lanes, and jumped across the jersey barrier into northbound traffic.

"The deer leapt, (and) it was struck on the front left corner of the semi truck," said Trooper Guy Gull with the Washington State Patrol. "It turned broadside in the air and came through the windshield broadside and landed on the steering column of the truck."

Despite the commotion, the driver was able to get the semi pulled over to the shoulder without hitting any other cars.
