Bengaluru: A spotted deer was fatally struck by a car while it was crossing the main road near Rajanukunte Thursday night. The accident occurred around 10.30pm in front of the KMF facility on Doddaballapur main road.
Police later handed over the carcass to the forest department.
As per preliminary investigation, a family of seven from Jeevan Bima Nagar in east Bengaluru was returning home from Sri Ghati Subramanya temple. "The driver, Prabhakar, said he was driving at a speed of 50 to 60km per hour when the car collided with the deer that was trying to leap over the road. Due to the impact, the bonnet broke open and part of it crashed into the windshield, forcing the vehicle to come to a screeching halt," a cop said.
The family said a two-wheeler rider stopped by at the scene, seeing the deer on the opposite side of the road and tried chasing it away, inadvertently directing it towards their sedan.

N Ravindra Kumar, DCF, Bengaluru Urban, said a case has been booked under Wildlife Act and the vehicle has been seized. The accused has been released on bail. "The deer was a four to five-year-old male. We're awaiting postmortem report for further action," he said.
