Dorothy Scanlon's Friday morning wake-up call came with antlers and hoofs.

A young deer crashed through the Muskegon woman's room at the Christian Care Nursing Center around 6:45 a.m. The deer, which broke its two front legs and received several cuts, proceeded to crawl around the home's hall, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.

"I heard the loud boom and I thought the furnace blew up, but then I saw the deer head and I was so startled I started screaming," Scanlon said. "Luckily I didn't get hit because I sleep rolled up in a ball."

Nancy Mckinney, inservice director at the home at 1275 Kenneth, was relieved no one was hurt during one of the "biggest things to happen here within the last year."
