Crofton man hurt after motorcycle collides with deer

A Crofton man was injured in a wreck on Old Palestine Road Wednesday when a deer jumped out in front of the motorcycle he was operating.

According to the report from the Christian County Sheriff’s Department, 46-year old Christopher Moore of Crofton was traveling north on Old Palestine Road around 6 p.m. when a deer traveled into his path.  The deer then reportedly leapt onto the motorcycle Moore was operating, ejecting Moore from the motorcycle while the vehicle slid to a stop.

Moore was reportedly not wearing a helmet or protective riding gear, and was transported to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for what are described as moderate injuries.
