North Kelsey man Danny Ablott who hid a deer while riding his Ducati motorcycle.A BIKER has described his miracle escape after he slammed into a deer at 70mph and was hurled 100 yards down the road.

As reported, experienced rider Daniel Ablott, 46, was riding on the A15 yesterday morning when the animal trotted into the path of his Ducati bike, between Barton and Barnetby, just before the junction with the B1206.

Mr Ablott hit the deer, was flipped over his handlebars and skidded along the road – but amazingly walked away from the scene with only bruised hands and a fractured ankle.

The back of his heavy duty protective jacket was completely shredded, while the road cut deep grooves into the side of his helmet.

His bike, which caught fire after the accident, was a charred wreck. The deer was killed in the incident.

For a full interview with Mr Ablott, see today's Grimsby Telegraph.

Poor Duc.

Unlike the Ducati Rider, this FZ6 rider managed to keep his bike upright in a similar incident.

Captured on video. About the 1:20 mark when it happens.
