Young deer saved by RSPCA following accident

The incident involving a young roe buck happened in Burnley Road last Wednesday.

Natalie Taylor from the RSPCA said: “The deer had been hit by a car and was bleeding from the face. The concern was the injury to his face.

“The deer was contained and a vet was called out, who attend and examined it. Luckily, it was just superficial wounds and nothing was broken.

“The deer was later released. A great outcome, and we’d like to thank all the concerned members of public who helped.
