Terrible Accident at Lanes End

[Danzig]

i can imagine the yearlings would bunch up together. they're herd animals. as for spooking...well, you brought up deer--i've seen deer stand in the middle of the road looking in the other direction while you're bearing down on them. never knew which direction something was coming from, deer just knew it heard something. but i doubt those yearlings had a clue about cars/traffic and roads, they're used to roaming in a nice big fenced pasture.
it's a freak accident, that's all.

also...a few months ago, i posted about a neighbor having two horses get hit by a truck. similar situation. one spooked, took off, the other went with her, and both were struck when crossing the road. it was broad daylight.
both were pastured right next to that road, but they don't 'think' like we do, and recognize that the road is a dangerous spot. one died immediately, the other was on his feet. but i never saw him again, so i think he must have been more seriously injured then it seemed at first.
