VICTOR, W.Va. — Law enforcement officers in Fayette County are searching for a vehicle they believe intentionally ran off the road to kill a deer early Thursday morning.
At approximately 6 a.m. along U.S. 60 near Wilson Road in the Victor area, a black 2007 Mustang swerved off the road and struck a buck, sending it into the side of a garage.
The occupants got out of the vehicle and cut the deer’s antlers off before fleeing the scene, according to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office.
Both the garage and a vehicle parked inside suffered damage, but no one in the residence was injured.
After requesting the public’s help in locating the vehicle, it was spotted being loaded onto a car hauler at the intersection of U.S. 60 and Wilson Road early Friday morning.
The sheriff is now asking anyone with information about the whereabouts of the vehicle –which should have damage on its right-front side– or the car hauler to call the Fayette County 911 Center at 304-574-3590.
