Colorado State Troopers Save Fawn After Mother Hit By Motorcycle

GOLDEN, CO — A motorcyclist struck and killed a pregnant doe on I-70 near Golden, but one of her two fawns survived. The mother gave birth after she was hit, and Colorado State Patrol troopers were able to deliver the fawn at the scene of the crash.

“Motorcycle [versus] deer crash usually doesn’t end like this,” CSP tweeted. “Rider is ok, mama and twin did not make it, but this little guy was born after the crash!”

The motorcyclist was not hurt in the crash, but the fawn’s twin didn’t survive, CSP said.

The agency said Colorado Parks and Wildlife was on their way to pick up the fawn.

“Good luck little guy!” CSP tweeted.
