Woman rushed to hospital after being hit by a deer

[Evil Eye]

The woman, 24, was given first aid treatment for facial lacerations and a black eye after the wild beast leapt over her on Chelmsford High Street, Essex.



She was taken to Chelmsford's Broomfield Hospital where she was treated for a minor head injury and later discharged.



Sales shoppers were stunned to see the adult male deer galloping through the built-up area, where it was caught on CCTV.



Drivers later reported sightings of the deer near near junction 18 of the A12 heading towards Colchester.



Police imposed rolling blocks as a precaution but no further sightings of the deer were made.



Mick McDonagh, manager of the High Chelmer shopping centre, said: It tried to leap over a young lady and unfortunately hit her.



She was obviously very shocked. I think she was concussed.



I don't think she was actually able to talk about it. It was passers-by, who actually told the paramedics what happened.



It's certainly not something you expect to see.



He added: We saw it come running from Bellmead.



It turned left into an oncoming bus lane on New London Road and then disappeared.



The 4ft-tall red deer sprang into the High Street on Sunday afternoon before dashed from the Stone Bridge across to New London Road, after which it disappeared.



A Chelmsford woman in her 20s was given first aid after the animal tried to jump over her outside Superdrug.



A spokesman for Essex Police said: It [the deer] had found its way into unfamiliar territory and did what any wild animal would do in the circumstances.



A spokesman for the East Anglian Ambulance Service said We understand the deer, in its attempt to get away, barged into a number of people, sending some to the pavement.



It also dazed itself when it hit a plate glass window.



The young woman was treated for minor facial injuries, then taken by us to Broomfield Hospital.

Pay backs a b.... the high road, McConnaughay, I am glad that she's mostly okay and wasn't severely injured.

Geez, talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Glad she wasn't seriously injured.
