The deer's head and antlers broke through the driver's side windshield as he jumped out from the left side of the road, reported the Star Tribune.

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety advised that bringing your vehicle to a controlled stop is safer than swerving to avoid deer, reported the Hutchinson Leader.
Deer related vehicle accidents tend to increase in October and November and Minnesota is ranked as one of the highest-risk states , reported the Star Tribune.
