Deer kills driver
SCOTT CITY — A Scott City man was killed in western Kansas when a deer careened off another car and smashed through his windshield.
Thirty-one-year-old Jason Kanak died Wednesday night after a deer hit by another vehicle flew into the windshield of his pickup truck on Highway 4 in Scott County. The State Highway Patrol says the deer went completely through the truck and out the back window.
Kanak’s wife, Lisa, was able to grab the steering wheel and get the truck back onto the road after it swerved into a ditch.
