Incident Details
The pilot of an airplane reported encountering a deer during the takeoff roll from a sod runway. According to the pilot's statement, the deer was running toward the airplane from its right side. In response, the pilot throttled back and applied the brakes, which caused the airplane to ground loop.
Evidence
Examination of ground scars on the runway confirmed that the airplane executed a left-hand 180-degree turn during the ground loop. The event resulted in the collapse of the right main landing gear and structural damage to the right wing: the outboard half of the wing was bent upward approximately 20 degrees.
No other details about the aircraft, pilot, or circumstances were provided in the source.
