Texas Marine returns unhurt from Iraq then injured by a deer
Deer sends Marine to ER

A Lufkin Marine came back from Iraq unscathed, but found himself in the emergency room after a deer came through his truck window Friday evening.
Preston Stewart and his step-mom Christy Stewart were headed east on Whitehouse Drive when they noticed a baby deer in the parking lot of Academy.
"We were watching the baby walk across the parking lot when all of a sudden 'wham,' another deer slammed into the side of the truck," Christy said. "The deer's body hit the side of the truck and then its head came through the window and slammed into Preston's head."
It looked like something on television, according to witness Linda Tate.
"I was getting into my car in front of Dollar Tree and saw the deer just jump into the window," Tate said. "Glass went everywhere."
Stewart was taken by ambulance to Memorial Health System of East Texas where he was treated for a gash to the back of his head and cuts on his face.
The deer's body dented the side of Stewart's newly purchased Chevy and its head shattered the driver's side passenger window.
"I just kept thinking the poor guy has been in Iraq for nine months and he's been dreaming about his new truck— then he gets it and gets hit by a deer," Christy Stewart said.
The deer died on impact.
