Video: Russian trucker smashes giant deer into bridge

Oh deer. That’s going to leave a mark…

Oh deer. That’s going to leave a mark…

This trucker in Russia obviously didn’t know the exact dimensions of the cargo he was carrying and we doubt if he’ll be trusted with a giant deer ever again…

The driver of the truck slows down as he approaches the bridge, so we can only assume that he was a tad worried his cargo wouldn’t pass under safely, but that wasn’t enough to stop his oversized deer from smashing into the concrete overpass.

The deer loses an antler in the smash and we wouldn’t be surprised if the driver lost his job over the incident. After all, giant deer are hard to come by at short notice.
