Royals’ Alex Gordon uninjured after hitting a deer with his car

Deer are often on the move at dawn and dusk, and that means drivers have should take care to watch for the animals.

Royals left fielder Alex Gordon learned that lesson Sunday.

Terry Ziegler, the chief of police for Kansas City, Kan., tweeted that an officer “was dispatched on an accident involving a deer (635 and K5) on 12/2/18 & the driver of the wrecked vehicle turned out to be Alex Gordon. Glad he wasn’t hurt!!!”

While Gordon was fine, Ziegler didn’t know the status of the deer.

Ziegler also posted a photo of Gordon with the officer on Instagram:
