A flying deer in Provo just changed your commute forever.

SHARE

Your Wasatch commute just got real, fast.

So here's the thing about Utah — we're used to seeing wildlife, yeah? Deer, elk, even the occasional moose wandering down from Emigration Canyon. But a deer getting hit by a car in Provo, and then *flying* through the air? And it's all on video? That's… something else. This wasn't some quiet little incident. This was a full-on, cinematic moment on the road, and the driver, Kadence Terry, apparently walked away from it. No yeah, it's wild.

### What happened on the road

* A deer ran out in Provo, into the path of a vehicle.

* The collision sent the deer airborne.

* The driver captured the whole thing on video.

* Fortunately, the driver was unharmed.

It really puts a different spin on your morning commute, doesn't it? You're cruising down I-15, maybe thinking about that coffee from Publik or whether you'll hit Alta this weekend, and then you see something like this. You think you've seen it all on Utah roads, from the inversion making everything a blurry mess to people trying to navigate the notorious Point of the Mountain traffic, but a flying deer? That's a new one for the books. It's a stark reminder that even in our seemingly placid valley, things can get pretty unexpected. That's the Crossroads, friends — greatest snow on earth and the weirdest liquor laws, and apparently, flying deer now too.
