Default bizarre accident

WESTMORELAND COUNTY -- Pennsylvania State Police are trying to piece together the puzzling death of a motorcyclist in Westmoreland County.

According to police reports, William Mark Amos, 47, of Export, was riding on Route 819 in Salem Township when the deer crossed into his path on Friday morning.

The bike collided with the deer about 100 yards south of Ridge Road.

But police said that Amos had a gunshot wound to the head and that a gun was also recovered at the crash scene.

And of COURSE they had to add that he wasn't wearing a helmet at the time. As if wearing a helmet would have stopped a frigging bullet. **** head journalists.

OMG... The hunter became the hunted... Here is how this plays out. The guy, riding down the road when all of a sudden he sees this dear just standing in his lane holding a pistol. The biker stops asks what is going on, after a lengthy conversation about the deers family hanging on the guys wall and some pleading the deer shoots the guy in the head. BUT!!! the guy does not die.. he gets on his Harley and rams the deer until he and the dear die.......
