This is the damage caused after a car hit a deer when it ran into the road near Houghton.

Policing Huntingdonshire tweeted the photo today (October 29) following the accident on the A1123.

They wanted to highlight the risk of animals in the road as the winter months get nearer.

“Fortunately, the driver sustained no injuries. However, it highlights the risks which wild animals can possess, especially with the hours of darkness increasing day by day,” the post read.
