A Washington State Patrol trooper who responded to a report of a deer killed by a truck on Interstate 5 ended up with a 2-month-old fawn in his car.

When Trooper Scott Brown arrived at the Bellingham (Washington) accident scene, other deer in the area stayed back but the fawn — possibly orphaned by the collision — ran up to him. The baby deer then nuzzled against Brown and started "mewing."

Unsure what to do, Brown picked up the fawn, loaded it into his patrol car and drove it to Sarvey Wildlife Care Center in Arlington.

Sarvey Executive Director Suzanne West says the fawn was severely dehydrated but is doing better. She says it had some minor injuries and might have been clipped by the truck that hit the adult deer. She says it's possible that deer was the fawn's mother.
