Remembering Another Crash With Deer

These pictures go back a few years. This is a friend of Gheen's that I rode with in Utah a couple of times. I do not have his permission to post the pictures so I will not identify him by name. The year prior, he had been hit by a car. A year later, fully recovered, he was coming off the Suncrest Climb just south of Salt Lake City at high speed when a herd of deer crossed in front of him.  Unable to brake, he tried unsuccessfully to thread the needle and ride through the deer. He hit a deer, flipped and landed on the back wheel which shattered on impact. Miraculously, he avoided serious injury.
