A deer had a lucky escape when it bounded across a busy road - and bumped into a car.

Driver Jeffrey Wang was on the outskirts of Aberdeen on Wednesday (8 May) when the animal bolted from trees.

It shot in front of an approaching vehicle before making contact with a red car in front of Jeffrey's.

Thankfully, neither deer nor driver seemed hurt in the incident.

Jeffrey captured the action on the C89C road on his dashcam at around 8pm.

The piano teacher says: "I was driving home from work approaching the A944 road to leave Aberdeen."

"I was very startled by it, as there were a lot of unusual things about it: I'm used to seeing wildlife on the country roads when it's dark, so I'm usually on the lookout for it."

"But I'd never seen a deer run out onto the road in this area, which is an urban area, as well as being in broad daylight with a constant stream of cars on the road. "

"My initial reaction was to slow down to make room for the deer, as I expected the deer to run past the back of the car, so I was quite shocked when it barged into the side of the vehicle."

"It does seem to have make brief contact with the car, but fortunately not enough to cause noticeable damage to the car or deer."

"The red car carried on driving as normal afterwards."
