According to police, the crash occurred as 54-year-old Kathryn A. Mitchell, of Grampian, was traveling east on Irishtown Road.
A deer jumped onto the roadway in front of Mitchell’s 2014 Yukon, and Mitchell applied her brakes but was unable to avoid collision, striking the deer head-on, police say.
Mitchell was able to pull the vehicle off the roadway before coming to a final rest.
Police say her vehicle sustained disabling damage and had to be towed from the scene.
Mitchell and her passenger 61-year-old Randy J. Mitchell, of Grampian, were both wearing seat belts at the time of the collision and were uninjured.
