Drunk deer forces driver off road
A driver in France has crashed after trying to avoid a "drunk" deer.
The motorist was heading down a road on the French-Belgian border near the town of La Capelle when he reacted to the stumbling animal and ended up driving his vehicle into a ditch.
It was later found that the deer was intoxicated after eating too many spring buds.
An official from the National Office of wildlife and hunting told daily newspaper La Voix du Nord: “Deer eat large quantities of buds that make them intoxicated, so they display symptoms of being drunk.”
