Police say a drunken New York man struck a deer with his vehicle, then tried driving the injured animal to a nearby hospital — for humans.

Police Chief Todd Baxter tells the Democrat and Chronicle that while trying to save the deer was commendable, “driving while intoxicated will not be tolerated.”

A Michigan woman may not have expected that new-car smell when she bought a used vehicle, but says she certainly didn't expect the odor of a dead body. In a lawsuit filed in Oakland County Circuit Court, Margarita Salais of New Baltimore alleges the dealership's staff sold her a 2006 Ford Expedition last March without telling her it once held a dead body. "They bought the car while it was still cold out in March," her attorney said. "The warmer it got, the worse the smell got." Salais said when she brought the car back to the dealership someone told her the smell came from a dead animal. She said she filed a claim with her insurance company, whose investigators determined odor was of human origin. The insurance company later learned the car had been stolen three times, something Salais said the dealer also failed to tell her. Her efforts to return the car were fruitless and now she wants $25,000 plus court fees.
