Group of Deer cause collision in Manchester injuring motorcyclist
A group of deer that darted across Route 70 and Hilltop Road in Whiting Saturday morning led to a motorcyclist suffering from a number of injuries.
Manchester Police arrived on scene and found Deborah D. Shannon, 68, of Edison on the road in the westbound lane about a quarter mile away from her 2016 Harley-Davidson FLH motorcycle.
Shannon told police that she was heading west on Route 70 when a group of deer entered the roadway from the east bound side and into her lane of travel.
She tried to avoid hitting the deer but struck one of them and the impact threw her off the motorcycle and the Harley itself flying in a different direction.
