A skateboarder gets knocked off the road by a deer

This skateboarder was rammed off the road by a galloping deer. He had reportedly reached a speed of 40mph, or 64kph, at the time, but wasn't severely hurt after the incident.

He seems to have been racing down a mountain road when this video was taken, in the middle of the day, not knowing what would happen. He sees the animal, tries to avoid it but ends up being overpowered and flown on the side of the road.

This video was uploaded a day ago by user Thepapdog, and already has 65,000 views on YouTube.

The skateboarders were all wearing safety helmets, so we can assume the protagonist was not hurt. Neither was the deer, as users report the animal fled after the accident.
