Pennsylvania police said a man who died after being struck by a vehicle may have been left on a roadside for days because his body was apparently mistaken for a dead deer.
Police said the man was found on Monday by a motorist, who at first thought the man was a deer because of tan clothing and snow that covered part of his body.
The motorist realized the man wasn't a deer after noticing his shoes.
Authorities believe that many others drove past the body, assuming it was a deer. Police said the man was a passenger in a vehicle that wrecked last Friday.
Police said he'd been walking along the road when he was hit and killed by another vehicle.
Happens.
not another one
Is this the same guy or another one?
Usually it's easy to tell the difference.

Yeah, I mean, did he have antlers? Easily mistaken for a nice four point buck??
Guy stopped because he wanted to mount the head?
Police said he'd been walking along the road when he was hit and killed by another vehicle.
Boy, his number was really up.
He might still be alive if someone hadn't gutted him.
EWWWWWWWW!!!!!
(LOL)
There is a man who walks to an office park along a highway where I live. He wears odd headgear - he's obviously a little cracked - and for two years he did wear a hat with antlers.
Michigan just passed a law allowing people to eat their road kill.
(ugh!)
Actually, a very sad story.
Heads are gonna roll...
Not quite as notorious has the suicide perp left hanging from a neighborhood tree on Halloween.
What was he wearing? A brown fur jacket and hat? How does one mistake a presumably clothed man for a deer? Do deer wear clothes in Pennsylvania or do people not know what a deer looks like? Inquiring minds want to know.

Lucky guy to have survived deer season, with that gear on!!! --- :-)
Do you have a link that would describe anything about that new law? I couldn't find anything.
My friend has a hunting and fishing show on a local radio station. That'd be quite a topic!
I think there is already a law to that effect on the books in Tennessee. Actually it would have been better had such a law been on the books in Pennsylvania--it wouldn't have saved this man's life, but someone would have discovered that he wasn't a deer sooner.
