Commuters on a bus in Warwick, Rhode Island experienced an up close and personal encounter with nature Monday afternoon when a deer crashed through the windshield of a bus.

A video released by the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority captured the collision and its aftermath.

The video shows the bus traveling south on Warwick Avenue shortly after 3:10 p.m. when a deer darts out into the busy street and leaps through the front windshield. A second camera shows passengers being showered with shattered glass as the stunned and injured deer rolls around on the floor.
