A Willowick woman is recovering from multiple injuries after colliding with a deer while running a race Oct. 1.
Rebecca Heasley, 40, and her sister, Victoria, were finishing up their last loop through Observatory Park as part of Geauga County Park District’s Space Race when the freak accident happened.
She said her and other runners had seen deer in the meadow nearby earlier, but she did not hear her sister warning runners behind her that the animals were running into the woods because Heasley had her earbuds in. “It would have taken longer for the EMTs to come out to me, so luckily I had people there to walk with me to the finish line,” she said.
