Video: Motorcyclist Hits Deer At Highway Speed And Keeps Upright
Read the full story on The Auto Wire Shocking dashcam footage shows the moment a motorcyclist hits a deer on a highway and stays upright after impact. In an amazing display of riding skill, the guy doesn't dump his bike and go skidding along the blacktop. It's pretty amazing to can see in the footage, which was taken by the guy's friend who was riding behind him, the deer darts across the road from the other side, a car missing it, then smacks right into the guy's Harley-Davidson Street Glide. The incident in question happened in Hulett, Wyoming back on June 6. Fortunately, the deer was just a young doe, not a full-grown buck, otherwise Kyle Hamilton might not have stayed upright or even lived to tell the tale. A deer strike in a car can total your vehicle and in some cases seriously injure or even kill the driver or front passenger. But on a motorcycle, you're even more exposed to harm from the animal. Hamilton told Cowboy State Daily he's dealt with death wobbles on the highway before, caused by semis pushing the air as they pass his motorcycle, so that helped prepare him for the harrowing experience. It also probably helped he was on a big cruiser and not a sport bike. However, the Street Glide was badly damaged in the collision. You can see parts of the motorcycle go flying off after the deer ran into it. Apparently, Hamilton thinks it might be a total loss. The guy who recorded this incident on his motorcycle's dashcam didn't fare so well. The sliding deer carcass clipped his wheels, sending him sliding at highway speeds, totaling the bike. At least the friend wasn't hurt, thanks to dressing for the slide instead of just the ride. But this video is a great reminder as people are out and about during the summer that deer can dart across roads so quickly, you don't have time to stop and avoid them.

Today in Chicago History: German sub U-505 — now housed at Museum of Science and Industry — captured by US Navy
Here's a look back at what happened in the Chicago area on June 4, according to the Tribune's archives. Is an important event missing from this date? Email us. Weather records (from the National Weather Service, Chicago) 1873: Alta May Hulett —then just 19 years old — became the first woman admitted to the Illinois bar and allowed to practice law in Illinois, according to the Illinois Supreme Court. The Chicago-based attorney received the first judgment in her client's favor on June 21, 1873. The case involved 'nothing very tragic nor pathetic,' the Tribune reported. 'It was not a case of a beautiful heiress seeking a divorce from a coal-heaver, or was there a widow and five children, — two at the breast, — and all staying, before the Court; nor was it a case in which a brutal husband broke all the china on the head of an afflicted, but affectionate, wife; it was not any of these; there was not a tear or a sigh, or a drop of blood, or a particle of sentiment, or a taste of lager in it from Alpha to Omega, — nothing to excite the sympathies or make the blood course faster, or the heart beat quicker, or the hair to stand on end. No, Frichka vs. Durkin was an exceedingly quiet case indeed.' 'Washerwoman' Martha Frichka rented space in her home on Madison Street to Mr. Durkin (no first name was given), who was a butcher. But when Durkin's partner left his business, he refused to pay rent. His reason: Why should a butcher pay money to a washerwoman? After Hulett spoke just 10 minutes at the start of the case and another 15 minutes during closing arguments, the jury of six men disappeared for just two minutes before returning with a verdict for the washerwoman. The Tribune praised Hulett's work in the courtroom but also noted the venue itself could use a good tidying-up. 'Now they are nothing but roofed spittoons. The floors are flooded with tobacco juice, and an odor of stale smoke, interspersed by beer and whisky fumes.' Hulett died of consumption (tuberculosis) just four years later. The Chicago Bar Association's award for outstanding lawyer is named in her honor. 1944: Germany's U-505 submarine was taken by American Task Group 22.3, near Africa. It was the first time since the 19th century the U.S. Navy had captured an enemy vessel at sea. Vintage Chicago Tribune: Move it, move it!!! Relocating houses, streets and even a submarine around the city.A decade later, the sub became a major exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. 1977: At least two people were killed and 15 Chicago police officers were hurt when a Puerto Rican celebration in Humboldt Park turned into a two-day riot along Division Street. Witnesses said trouble broke out after a Latin Kings street gang member was shot in the leg by a rival. When police tried to close the park, crowds hurled bricks, bottles, rocks, sticks, chairs and other debris, the Tribune reported. It was the worst violence in the area since 1966, when seven people were shot, dozens were hurt and 37 arrested during two nights of rioting. 1986: 'Vicious,' an independently produced play that reimagined what happened the night Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious murdered his girlfriend Nancy Spungen, premiered at Steppenwolf Theatre. Tribune critic Sid Smith panned the drama as 'no way fascinating.' But Smith admired the 'smooth, streetwise swagger' of a prostitute/dealer character named Champ, who was played by George Clooney.

It's a fight to the finish in Freo as counting continues
Independent Kate Hulett and Labor's man in Fremantle Josh Wilson remained in a tight race to the end yesterday, as vote counting continued to determine the area's Federal MP. Election officials were only halfway through the two-candidate count on Wednesday morning, with the system heavily delayed after the initial count on Saturday night had pitted Mr Wilson against Liberal Party contender Tait Marston. At 11am Wednesday 55 per cent of votes had been counted, with Labor's incumbent MP 2120 votes in front of Ms Hulett with a 52 per cent to 48 per cent lead. Your local paper, whenever you want it. Mr Wilson, who has represented Fremantle since 2016, was the first choice for 36,422 voters on Saturday — almost as many as Ms Hulett and Mr Marston combined. But with most candidates asking voters to preference Climate-200 backed independent Ms Hulett above Mr Wilson, the race for Fremantle is now very much in the hands of voters who chose neither. It's a second crack at politics for Ms Hulett, who fell just 424 votes shy of ousting WA Government minister Simone McGurk at the State election two months ago. Ms McGurk this week hit out at the Liberal Party's call to preference Ms Hulett. 'The same independent complained bitterly when I received Liberal preferences but now, ironically, it looks like that might get her over the line. Of course, it's still too close to tell, so we've got hope that Josh will come through in the end like I did,' she said. 'She is against any gas development in favour of massive increases to taxes, including corporate taxes, and against AUKUS. 'So it's hypocritical and cynical that the Liberal Party gave her their preferences.' Asked about the race on Sunday, Mr Wilson said he had fought hard for the community in his nine years in Parliament. 'So, the count continues. I respect the count,' he said. 'I respect all of the contestants in the Federal seat of Fremantle ... the way that the results were coming in later last evening and some of the implications we have about the preference flows make me feel hopeful. 'If I get the opportunity to continue working hard for the community that I've grown up in and that has shaped me and my values and allowed me to take those values into the national parliament on their behalf, I'll be incredibly grateful.' On Monday Ms Hulett said the tight result sent a clear message to both major parties. 'We have already won in so many ways — Fremantle has shown what is possible when we do politics differently,' she said. 'We offered change, and people have voted for it. They want to take back power from the politicians to get meaningful action and better outcomes. 'The Labor Party should really take very clear note to what has come up in Fremantle.' Ms Hulett expressed sympathy for Mr Wilson as a 'progressive' voice within Labor but accused him of failing to influence Government policy on AUKUS and climate change. 'He's unable to have a strong voice because of the system and I think what we're all fighting against is the system,' she said. Ms Hulett revealed she is yet to speak to Perth's other Climate-200 funded politician Kate Chaney, but saw humour in the reality that there could be more Kates from Perth in Canberra than Liberals. 'Seeing how she's mobilised hundreds and hundreds of people in her electorate is very inspiring,' Ms Hulett said. 'She did offer that we could go and have a few days together so she can tell me how to do the entire job ... it's nice to have extra Kates around, it's reassuring.'

Federal election 2025: Josh Wilson to retain seat of Fremantle after challenge from independent Kate Hulett
Labor's Josh Wilson will hold on to his seat of Fremantle after stiff competition from independent Kate Hulett in the second time she has come close to unseating a Labor frontbencher. Mr Wilson, who has held the seat since 2016, pulled ahead on Wednesday afternoon as pre-poll votes were counted and the preference flows came his way. His margin will drop from its previously safe status of 16.9 per cent to single digits. It was Ms Hulett's second tilt at politics in a matter of months. She ran in the State seat of Fremantle against WA minister Simone McGurk but lost it by 424 votes. By Wednesday afternoon, the bulk of postal votes had been counted, with preferences splitting Mr Wilson's way, and election analysis for the ABC and 7 called the seat for Labor. Ms Hulett won a majority of preferences at the Fremantle pre-poll centre (53.9 per cent) but Mr Willson won a larger share of those cast at the Cockburn pre-poll (57.2 per cent) on the opposite end of the electorate. Three other pre-poll booths, in Melville, Applecross and Perth, are yet to report a preference count. The other undecided seat in WA, Bullwinkel, remains too close to call. As of Wednesday evening, Labor's Trish Cook was ahead of Liberal Matt Moran by just 95 voters. This lead expanded and contracted throughout the day as the preference count continued, with neither side willing to predict the outcome. One Labor source said the seat was 'tighter than a duck's arsehole' while a Liberal source said the absentee votes were tracking against the party.
