Police said a Central Texas driver has been killed after a deer struck by another car crashed through the victim's windshield.
Temple police on Monday identified the victim as 32-year-old Christopher Cody Fields of Temple.
Cpl. Christopher Wilcox said the mature buck ran onto a road and was hit by a car Saturday night, then the animal veered into another vehicle and went through the windshield. Wilcox said the deer ended up dead in the victim's car.
Wilcox said Fields died at the scene after being struck by the deer. An autopsy was ordered. Another man in the Fields vehicle suffered injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
Police said the original car was damaged when it hit the deer but nobody in that vehicle was hurt.
