Deer swam to PEI, but struck and killed shortly after arriving

A rare sighting of a deer on PEI on Tuesday – but one that came to a tragic end for the animal.  Provincial wildlife officials believe the deer had managed to swim across the Northumberland Strait to PEI – which is a first – but a short time later the animal was struck and killed by a transport truck after the deer had run onto the road near the toll plaza at the Confederation Bridge.
