WESTMORELAND COUNTY -- Pennsylvania State Police are trying to piece together the puzzling death of a motorcyclist in Westmoreland County.
According to police reports, William Mark Amos, 47, of Export, was riding on Route 819 in Salem Township when the deer crossed into his path on Friday morning.
The bike collided with the deer about 100 yards south of Ridge Road.
But police said that Amos had a gunshot wound to the head and that a gun was also recovered at the crash scene.
Police said Amos, who was not wearing a helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene.

It’s called REVENGE.
Suicide by deer.
By the way there was no need to say he wasn't wearing a helmet, since a helmet would not have saved him from a bullet in the head, and probably not from the accident of hitting the deer. but they always like to say Motorcyclists died because they didn't wear a helmet.
I just ran across it a couple of hours ago and thought how apropos it was for this story ....
or possibly a passer-by enviro-wacko sympathetic to the deer.. or.. was the motorcyclist an enviro-wacko sympathetic to the deer?
Did the deer shoot in self defense? ;-)
When guns are outlawed, only deer will have guns. Be afraid.

Amos got in the way of a very good shot. ;-0
I have this vision of the cops standing over the scene, scratching their heads and wondering “What the Heck....”
The biker’s history may provide some clues. CSI, here we come!
