The dashcam of the Michigan State Police cruiser captured the first deer clearing the car. The second deer would have run straight into the driver's side door - but it amazingly jumped clean over the car. A third deer ran behind the car and just in front of the trooper, who quickly but calmly put his brakes on to let the deer continue running across the road.
