Woman dies after deer ricochets off 1 car, strikes hers

Authorities say a western Michigan woman died after a car hit a deer, it flew into the air and struck the windshield of her vehicle. 

Kent County sheriff's officials say 49-year-old Susan Fries of Ada Township died Monday evening in Cascade Township after the deer broke through her vehicle's windshield.

The animal was first struck by a car going the other direction, sending it airborne. The driver of the first vehicle to hit the deer, a 23-year-old Lowell resident, wasn't hurt.
