CHARLOTTE, NC. (THECOUNT) — In the harrowing piece of footage, lead cyclist, Missie Mansfield, can be heard screaming just before a deer is sent hurtling through the air back across the double-yellow line as the cyclist in front of Peter Flur — Melonie Norris — can be seen ducking and quickly steadying her bike as it wobbles.
“I look up and see this thing flying at us,” Flur says. “For a few seconds, I didn’t even know what it was. … It happened so fast, at that very instant, we just didn’t know.”
The group, which had been focused on supporting Norris during her last significant training ride for next weekend’s Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, pulled off to the side of the road for several minutes to process what had happened before saddling up again.
Flur says the deer did not survive; although he can’t be sure, he believes the driver of the Audi continued on without stopping.
“As we were heading back into the Y,” Flur says, “Missy looked back at me and was like, ‘Oh my God, you have that on video.’” source
