The crash happened at just before 10pm on the B662 near Clopton, on the Cambridgeshire border.

Officers from the Northamptonshire Police Interceptors who attended the scene said the vehicle had swerved to avoid the deer but lost control before rolling several times, colliding with a tree 10ft off the ground and finally coming to rest in a field 50 metres away.
