UPDATE: Looks like google has taken the carnage down.

We love the Google street view cam, especially out in the rural areas where things get "Deliverance".  But we feel sorry for Bambi, who paid the ultimate price for our voyeurism.  To see how it all went down, Click here.  Move forward a few slides, then look what destruction we have wrought.  A moment of silence please.

lol, now we know how bambi's mom really died.

Seriously, not cool. Given the time laps on those shots that van could have stopped.

Very not cool.

So much for Google's motto 'Don't do evil"

I lived in rural NY. Deer are like flies out there. I lived there for 4 years and soundly hit a deer, as did my buddy, and narrowly missed like 5 others.

DOH!

A Deer!

A Female Deer!

What if it were a fag on a macbook coming out of Starbucks that got hit?

All you laughers would be holding eulogys

Did anyone look at the (dis)continuity of the yellow pavement lines in the www.skjermskudd.com posted images??? Where are our critical thinking skills, folks!

Looks like a really crappy Photoshop job to me.

9to5googlenoob hunter (not verified) | January 30, 2009 - 9:30am

Look on the left side of the road at the edge of the driveway. You can clearly see the fawn just getting ready to enter the road. Google just missed this one clip.

Well the link didn't post properly, but follow the original map link and then click once to the South to the address 832 Five Points Road, then look to the left.

Looks like we've crashed the system!  As the picture isn't available any more.
