TOWN OF EVERGREEN, WI (WTAQ) - A freak accident involving a deer and two vehicles has happened for the second time in Wisconsin in just over a month.
Authorities in the northwest part of the state said Kurtis Berg of Cumberland died on Saturday when a Minnesota driver hit a deer.
The animal then flew through the windshield of an oncoming pickup truck where Berg was a passenger. It happened in the Washburn County town of Evergreen.
The deer was still in the pickup when first responders got there. Berg died later at a hospital, after getting severe head and chest injuries.
It was similar to a tragic accident in central Wisconsin on April 17th. That was when Michael Rogan of Stratford was driving his wife to a hospital for the birth of their eighth child -- and another vehicle hit a deer before it broke into the Rogans' van.
Michael died, and everyone else in the family escaped with minor injuries.
