Apparently a deer was hit by a Google van, as is shown in this Google Street View location:
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&layer=c&cbll=42.953557,-77.663247&panoid=6vAkor2kYZz3m5_1iSkMrw&cbp=12,181.53727377395012,,0,21.75107339062427&ll=42.953463,-77.663242&spn=0.027766,0.22316&t=h&z=13

I'm currently getting the message "We're sorry, street view is currently unavailable due to high demand. Please try again later!" However, there are screenshots at

"one of our Street View cars hit a deer while driving on a rural road in upstate New York. Due to several user requests using the "Report a concern" tool...."
