Deer sitting on the side of US 340 in Stuarts Draft, Virginia near Killdeer Lane following a collision with a Honda HR-V. The deer survived the impact, though it was clearly in a lot of pain afterward, and was lying down on the roadside in this manner after it attempted to leave the scene, but failed. My car was still drivable afterward, and the deer was still alert when I left the scene, though I suspected that the deer was not long for this world due to its injuries.
