A suburban Chicago woman is grateful her family is safe after a 90 kilogram deer leapt from an overpass onto their minivan as it travelled along a highway.
Heidi Conner told Arlington Heights' The Daily Herald that the doe came to rest in the middle of the family's Chevy on Sunday as she and her four children were travelling about 112km/h.
She says the accident was bizarre, adding "nobody can believe this deer fell from the sky".
Illinois State Police say witnesses reported seeing the deer jump from an overpass onto the vehicle below.
Conner says the crash totalled the van and caused minor injuries, but says the way the deer landed on the vehicle was "a miracle in itself".
