PORT GIBSON, Miss. (AP) — A woman was killed early Tuesday when a deer smashed through the windshield of a car traveling on a Mississippi highway, authorities said.
The deadly collision happened at about 5:20 a.m. on U.S. 61 in Claiborne County near the Louisiana state line, Trooper 1st Class Darnika Mayfield of the Mississippi Highway Patrol told WAPT-TV.
Mayfield said a deer was struck by two vehicles on the highway. After being hit by the first car traveling southbound, she said, the deer crashed through the windshield of a Nissan Maxima moving in the opposite direction.
A passenger in the Nissan, identified as 23-year-old Amanda Taylor, was killed, according to Mayfield. She said neither of the drivers involved were injured.
