After a difficult day at the office, Krystine Rivera never thought her day would get worse.

That was until she decided to go on an 11km jog, the Washington Post reported.

Running along a path near a road in Ashburn, Virginia, Rivera never would have expected to have a deer fly at her.

An SUV had struck the poor animal, sending it flying into Rivera's path and slammed into her.

She didn't realise at first and it wasn't until paramedics told her they had to cut away her running shirt "because it had deer blood all over it" that she figured out what had happened.

“That’s when I knew a deer was part of this,” Rivera said.

She said that she never saw anything coming.
