A Brown County man was taken to the hospital early in the morning April 13 after a deer jumped out in front of a motorcycle he was riding.

Gary Fox, 60, of Spearsville Road, was westbound on State Road 46 East near Parkview Road when a deer crossed in front of his 2003 Yamaha, according to an accident report by Nashville Police Chief Ben Seastrom.

The collision ejected Fox from his motorcycle. He was not wearing a helmet, the police report.

Fox reportedly had minor bleeding over his entire body and was taken to a hospital by ambulance for further treatment.

His motorcycle was towed.
