A cyclist was transported to a hospital with minor injuries early Thursday morning after colliding with a deer in a secluded area of Walt Disney World property, according to officials.
Jeffrey Norberry, 56, of Windermere, was taken to Celebration Hospital after the incident happened at about 2:50 a.m. on Floridian Way near Cast Drive, officials said.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, Norberry was traveling eastbound on Floridian Way, and a deer was running westbound when they collided head-on. Norberry flipped over the bicycle's handlebars and the deer after the impact, the report said.
The deer fled the area. It is not known if the deer was seriously injured.
“The deer fled the area. It is not known if the deer was seriously injured.”
That’s what makes it funny.
The deer probably didn’t have a valid license, no insurance, and was on the wrong side of the road.
Odocoileus rage.
He kept kicking me, repeating over and over “Have you seen my Mother?”
PETA will demand a search to get an affidavit to charge the biker.
The Deer gave a high five to his buddies before scattering into the night.
A friend of mine hit a deer on his bicycle. Wasn’t wearing a helmet but he wished he was afterward. Mess him up pretty good.
!!!
Ouch.
Cycling at 2:50 AM?
He went for a bike ride at 2:50am....
What a stupid name for a hosptal. I mean, unless it's all about birthing babies, who the heck celebrates anything at a hospital? The place is filled with misery, not celebration. Not very many people got to the hospital to friggin celebrate.
Mule deer, or whitetail, unknown.
But either way, the deer is laughing at the flying human.
I see you found an image of same deer committing arson!
That deer must be stopped.
;-)
Bring your good times and your laughter too.
LOL!
My buddy at the coast hit one. T boned it. Stupid thing ran right out in front.
Messed the bike up. He and his wife were eat up with road rash. She broke her ankle.
Deer was ALL F’ed up. Nearly cut him in half. I got pics at home. Its a shame too. I painted that bike.
Deer kill a bunch of people every year.
I remember while I was in college, my MIL killed more deer with her car than my BIL, and excellent, avid hunter got with licenses in 2 states.
In Maine, moose kill truckers. They stand high enough that when the truck hits the mmoose, tit comes right through the windshield, right onto the driver.
It’s called Celebration because that is the name of the town it is located in.
Er ... the hospital is named for the town where it’s located. The town is called “Celebration,” immediately adjacent to (or perhaps even on) Disney World property. It’s a weird kind of Stepford Wives Disney planned community — attractive yet scary at the same time.
