The CHP say they received a call of a car striking a deer just before 4:45 a.m. The vehicle reportedly then stalled on northbound CA-125 just before the transition to state Route 54. Jio said responding officers and fire crews arrived to find the car in the No. 2 lane abandoned with the dead deer in front of it. source
