MACHIAS (AP) – A confused deer crashed through the glass entrance of a bank in Machias, then galloped injured and bleeding through the downtown area. The animal eventually fell down an embankment of snow and into a nearby river, where it drowned.

Machias Savings Bank customers and employees were startled when the deer ran into the door shortly before 11 a.m. Wednesday.

A bank employee called police, but the deer had left the area and made its way to the riverbank by the time an officer arrived.
