WILLIAMSPORT---Employees at Fairfield Ford in Williamsport got quite the early morning shock Thursday
"About quarter after 7, my service manager came in and heard a ruckus in the showroom out here, came out and there was a deer over here in the corner and blood throughout the showroom and the deer went out through the window and around the corner," said worker Stephanie Bowes.
Witnesses said several deer were crossing West 4th Street in the city near the dealership.
One got hit by a car, the rest ran across the road and a buck came crashing into the dealership through a showroom window.
"Walked in the door, crazy as crazy could be, saw all the guys from back in recon and the service department cleaning blood from one end of the showroom to the other," said Dave Yeagle, who works at Fairfield Ford.
Folks inside the place said the animal ran through the showroom and put its antlers into a wall, before running out the same way it came in.
The estimated cost to fix the damage is in the thousands of dollars.
"When I saw all the damage and everything that was done, I was like, I couldn't believe that a deer had done that much damage, it was amazing," said Yeagle.
The folks at Fairfield Ford said because of a big sale they were having, they moved some of the vehicles from inside the showroom outside. Otherwise, they said there could have been a lot more damage.
"Yeah, I'm glad I wasn't here I don't know what I would have done. I probably would have cried and stayed in the corner all day," laughed Bowes.
The game commissioners were called to the dealership Thursday morning. The buck that crashed into the showroom and the deer hit by a car died.
