A deer sustained fatal injuries after being hit not once, but twice in a matter of seconds west of Salina Thursday night.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that Lucia Garcia, 38, of Bavaria, was eastbound on W. Crawford Street just west of the intersection with S. Halstead Road when her 2004 GMC Yukon struck a deer that darted out onto the roadway. Seconds later, a westbound 2003 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Glenn Miller, 31, of Brookville, also struck the deer.
The accident occurred just after 9:30 p.m.
A 16-year-old girl who was a passenger in the Yukon was injured, possibly from the airbags, and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Soldan said.
The Silverado had to be towed from the scene.
