Close encounter of the wild kind: Bus driver avoids collision with deer at crossing

MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee County Transit System posted video on Facebook on Thursday, February 16th of a close encounter between a county bus and a deer.

According to captions within the video, MCTS driver Alfreeda Gogins was driving on Good Hope Rd. on a recent evening -- when something caught her eye. It was a deer trying to make its way across the road -- at a point in the road where there is a posted deer crossing sign.

Gogins reacted and was able to brake early enough to avoid striking the deer. The video from the bus even shows the deer got away unharmed.
