A driver got into an accident on Route 1 - not with a motorist, but with a deer traipsing across the highway.
You expect a lot of things on Route 1 in Woodbridge: traffic, fender benders, and more traffic. One thing you don't expect to see is a deer in the afternoon. But that's what happened to one motorist who had a too-close encounter with the creature at the Route 1 and Green Street intersection Friday afternoon.
