A NY Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer..For Real : Video
Thanksgiving might already be in the rearview mirror, but one wild event from Watertown, New York, has people talking—and not because of the turkey.
During the town’s annual Turkey Day Run, a group of deer unexpectedly stormed the course, turning the race into an unforgettable wildlife encounter.
What began as a cheerful holiday tradition quickly veered into chaos as four deer charged through the crowd of runners.
Two participants were knocked down during the commotion, with one requiring hospital treatment for minor injuries and the other receiving care at the scene.
The deer, showing no remorse, bolted off into the distance, leaving behind startled racers and a story no one will forget.
The bizarre scene instantly brought to mind the novelty song Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Released in 1979, the holiday tune describes a fictional disaster involving a runaway reindeer. Watertown’s real-life version may have swapped Santa’s sleigh for a herd of deer, but it was just as absurd—and has sparked its own wave of viral reactions.
Here’s a look at the chaos, captured on video during the run:
This time of year happens to be peak mating season for deer, meaning they’re more active and less predictable than usual. Unfortunately for the Turkey Day runners, the racecourse turned out to be prime territory for their four-legged guests.
As the holiday season continues, this unexpected twist will surely go down in history one of the most memorable moments in Watertown’s Turkey Day Run history.
Leaving only one HUGE Question.
