Geoff and Paula Eckler were not hurt after an accident along River Road in the Quechee/Hartford area Monday evening.
According to Paula Eckler, “a deer tried to attack Eric’s truck” as the family was out driving around while getting a summer night ice cream. Swerving to avoid the “deer attack”, the Ecklers and their vehicle ended up in the Ottauquechee River.
According to Mrs. Eckler they “took a bath” but were not hurt. Vermont State Police and Hartford Police assisted at the scene and a Woodstock Police good Samaritan came out to help.
Paula was able to return to her duties an Emergency Services EMT responder yesterday. Good to know the Ecklers are okay!
Unknown the disposition of the “attacking” deer.
