Ken Worthy had a surprise encounter at a North Carolina McDonald’s last week.
As he left the restaurant with his wife and walked to the car, Worthy was knocked off his feet by a galloping deer. The Worthys were fine and, even more surprisingly, not a drop of Coke was spilled.
By the time Worthy went back inside the restaurant to see if the security cameras had captured the encounter, he was already laughing, manager Gwen Shelton told USA Today.
Worthy shared the encounter on his Facebook page on Jan. 28, including the security footage he was able to obtain from the McDonald’s. As of Friday afternoon, the video had been viewed more than 200,000 times.
The deer came so quickly that Worthy didn’t realize at first what had happened.
“It was absolutely nuts,” he told WSOCTV.
He expressed gratitude that the deer didn’t run into his wife or any of their kids and confirmed that he left the incident without injury.
According to the Charlotte Observer, Worthy wasn’t the deer’s only victim. The deer also rammed into the doors of a nearby tattoo shop and a medical rehab center before losing an antler.
