Silvercreek Township Fire Chief Steve Payton told 2 NEWS the vehicle hit the deer and soon after burst into flames. Fire crews were called to the scene to extinguish the fire.

Payton confirms the vehicle was not electric — the fire started due to the impact of the collision.

According to the National Highway Safety Administration, approximately 1.5 million deer-vehicle crashes occur in the United States each year.
