Thomas Gill escaped injury after hitting a deer on his drive home from work Wednesday night.

Gill was driving north on Langley Road after leaving his job at Whidbey Telecom in Clinton when he hit a two-point buck in front of Waterman Self Storage around 9:30 p.m.

Gill said he was shaken but OK, and said he would be “right as rain” soon.

Gill is a volunteer at city hall and a member of the city’s Planning Advisory Board. He is a candidate for Position 4 on the Langley City Council.
