Woodstock Car Hits A Buck In Reading #ReadingVT #VT
Stephanie Linton, 24 of Woodstock , was driving her 3 year old son,
Jax to child care around 8:30 a.m. Monday morning when their 2011 Hyndai
Santa Fe hit a buck on Rte 106. A doe ran across the road followed by a buck.
"The deer came out of nowhere, I hit the brakes but I had no place to
go" said Stephanie by phone after the accident. Both she and her son are
fine, the car is a wreck. The airbags did not deploy. Immediately after the
accident, Jax's Dad, Josh, was on the scene and he said his son was fine and
said to him "Daddy can we go find the deer?"
The deer was badly injured and climbed up into the woods
where it later died. Vermont State Game Warden, David Taddei arrived from
Townshend and tagged the deer so the Linton family could legally keep it.
"We still have deer meat in the freezer from last winter" Stephanie
said, this buck will add to it.
The vehicle was towed to Woodstock Sunoco waiting on
insurance assessment. Ms. Linton is the daughter-in-law of Woodstock 's Second Constable Kelly Linton.
