A car was fully engulfed in flames Wednesday morning after it reportedly struck a deer on Highway 47, west of Cambridge.
According to Captain John Elder with the Isanti County Sheriff’s Office, an eight-point buck ran in front of the vehicle near River Ridge Drive around 7:00 a.m.
When deputies arrived on scene, they noticed the flames, and the vehicle was fully engulfed before firefighters could arrive. The highway was shut down while the Dalbo Fire Department extinguished the car fire.
The driver and her dog were able to escape the vehicle and were uninjured by the crash.
The Isanti County Sheriff's Office offered its thanks to the people who stopped to help the driver as well as Aspkundh Tree Company for their help blocking the roadway and directing traffic.
The Minnesota State Patrol is handling the crash investigation.
