A recent video which has surfaced online shows a man getting trampled by a deer while he was leaving a restaurant in Locust, North Carolina. According to international media reports, the man identified as Ken Worthy was leaving McDonald's with his wife and a Diet Coke in his hand when he saw something approaching him. The security video taken from the store showed the animal barreling toward Ken before jumping on him and continuing on. 

The video was posted by Ken himself with a caption, “Deanne Dee Morgan Worthy and I were walking out of the McDonald's in Locust NC with Coke's in hand. What happened next I would have never believed. Life is crazy sometimes. God is good ALL the time! Not injured. PS: Didn't spill my coke! “.
