BECKS GROVE — A 22-year-old Freetown man was treated at the scene of his crash on Aug. 22 after he swerved to miss a deer on Becks Grove Road and hit a tree.

Brown County Sheriff’s Deputy Colton Magner responded to the crash which was reported just before 4 a.m. near the State Road 135 South intersection. Wyatt Smith told police he was driving west on Becks Grove Road when a deer entered the road and he swerved, the accident report states.

Smith went off the north side of the road and hit a tree, which caused heavy right front damage to the vehicle, Magner reported. He wrote that it appeared Smith’s vehicle spun after hitting the tree and that it landed partially in a ditch on the opposite side of the road.

Smith had complaints of back pain and was limping, but he said that prior injuries caused him to limp. He was checked out by EMS and was not taken to a hospital.

Smith was wearing a seat belt. His vehicle was towed.
