Castanet reader Lars Pace informed us that there was a large deer hit on Drought Hill heading down towards Peachland late Wednesday night. 

Big Lars says, "it was a mammoth of a deer."

He says he was driving home from getting groceries from the Westbank area when he noticed the deer and a car pulled to the side. 

"I made a safe U-turn and parked in front of him and he looked all shook up. There was so much debris all over the road because cars kept hitting the deer."

He thinks about four or five different cars that may have hit the deer by the time he was able to move the animal. 

RCMP and fire rescue were called to the scene. 

He just wanted the public to know because not only is that corner poorly lit but there was a lot of car debris causing it to be a driving hazard. 

Pace says the driver of the initial vehicle is a little shook-up but not injured.
