North Carolina man run over by deer in McDonald's parking lot
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Surveillance video outside of a North Carolina McDonald’s last week showed a deer – from out of nowhere – run over a man heading to his car.
“It was absolutely nuts,” Ken Worthy, who had just finished lunch with his wife at the Locust, N.C., fast food eatery, said, according to WSOC-TV in Charlotte. “It was just a bit of brown, and then I saw his face, I was down on the ground -- that quick."
He posted the video to Facebook, which as of Friday morning had more than 80,000 views.

He said he also managed to not spill his drink. “There’s important things in your life and Diet Coke is one of them,” he joked.
