Sawang Rojthummasathan officials also reported that hours earlier an adult male deer was hit by a car driven by a local village chief. The animal, presumed to be the father of the injured fawn, was killed near the same area.

Wildlife officials speculated the animals had ventured down from the hills in search of food.
