PORT GIBSON, Miss. (AP) — A woman was killed early Tuesday when a deer smashed through the windshield of a car traveling on a Mississippi highway, authorities said.

The deadly collision happened at about 5:20 a.m. on U.S. 61 in Claiborne County near the Louisiana state line, Trooper 1st Class Darnika Mayfield of the Mississippi Highway Patrol told WAPT-TV.
