Deer got lucky, Pickup Truck Driver hit Tree.
Around 8:30 this morning, Ted Beckner was driving towards the dam on Sturbridge Road with his pickup truck.
A deer jumped out of the woods in front of Ted’s pickup truck. Ted’s maneuver to avoid the deer got out of control and he ended up against a tree. Ted fortunately avoided an utility pole just by inches.
The State Police was on the scene directing traffic. The Holland Fire Department was assisting the recovery operation as well.
Fortunately nobody was hurt and Ted is carrying collision insurance on his truck.
