Quad biker crashes into deer

A video has emerged from northern France of a quad biker crashing at high speed with a deer.

In the clip, which was filmed in Aisne, the quad biker rides fast through a field.

Suddenly, as he passes a copse, a deer darts out from among the trees and they collide.

The rider is thrown from the bike, which rolls away into a nearby field.

Fortunately, neither the deer nor the rider were harmed in the crash.

The deer can be seen in the clip getting to its feet and running away.

Although the video was filmed a couple of years ago, it has only recently surfaced online.
