PHILADELPHIA — It’s raining deer in a small northwestern Pennsylvania town, and residents say that’s both disgusting and dangerous.
Approximately 25 whitetail deer have leaped to their deaths from the U.S. 219 bypass that runs through the town of Johnsonburg, Elk County, in recent years, according to a recent report by WJAC-TV of Johnstown. While some of the deer land in wooded areas and fields, one portion of bypass runs above a populated area.
Homeowner Bill Boylan said one deer nearly landed on his fishing boat beside his garage.
