The Union County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported after an SUV struck a deer Tuesday afternoon. The 2022 Chevy Tahoe, driven by 20-year-old Macy Wiley, of Creston, was traveling south on Cherry Street near 150th Street at around 3:33-p.m., when a deer came out of the east ditch and into the middle of the road.

Wiley was unable to avoid hitting the animal, which struck the left front side of the SUV. The deer flipped over the top of the vehicle and died at the scene. Damage to the Tahoe was estimated at $5,000.
