27-year-old Krystine Rivera was out for a run when she was knocked cold by a deer.

She might run like a deer, but she's no match for one.

A Virginia woman was on the final leg of a 7-mile-run near her home in Ashburn when an airborne deer reportedly knocked her unconscious Thursday about 6 p.m.

Krystine Rivera, 27, was a sitting duck when an SUV struck the buck and, in a stroke of bad luck, sent him flying toward the young athlete beside Claiborne Parkway. She remembers running one moment and coming to in an ambulance the next, the Washington Post reported.

The collision with the SUV killed the deer, and the deer struck Krystine Rivera, 27, who is lucky to have survived.

"I was running, then I was on the ground and then was listening to the paramedic. I'm surprised I made it out alive," Rivera said to the paper.

The massive mammal cut the 5-foot-tall athlete's run short at five miles, slashed her scalp, bruised her right knee and gave her a concussion.

Rivera, an administrative analyst, started running roughly five years ago, participates in marathons and leads runs for a local fitness club.

27-year-old Krystine Rivera is amazed she survived the hit from a massive flying deer.

She thought a run after a stressful day at work might cheer her up.

While Rivera was on the ground, a passerby called 911 and used Rivera's cellphone to contact her family and boyfriend, according to the Washington Post.

Rivera and the 71-year-old driver were both treated at Inova Loudoun Hospital and released, the sheriff's office said.

The deer died on the spot.

She is no stranger to that route and runs it regularly. She intends to run it again.

Newlyweds Elytte And Miranda Barbour Killed A Man For Fun, Pennsylvania Police Say

SUNBURY, Pa. (AP) — Newlyweds, just three weeks removed from their wedding day, lured a Pennsylvania man to his death with a Craigslist ad because they wanted to kill someone together, police said.

Elytte Barbour told officers before his arrest Friday night that he and his wife, Miranda, had planned to kill before, but their plans never worked out until last month when Troy LaFerrara responded to an online posting that promised companionship in return for money.

Elytte Barbour, 22, and Miranda Barbour, 18, both face criminal homicide charges in LaFerrara's death. 

His body was found Nov. 12, 2013, in an alley in Sunbury, a small city about 65 miles East of State College, PA. The couple recently moved to nearby Selinsgrove from North Carolina.

According to Sunbury police, Elytte Barbour told investigators he hid in the backseat of the couple's SUV as his wife picked up LaFerrara at a mall on Nov. 11. He told police that, on his wife's signal, he wrapped a cord around LaFerrara's neck, restraining him while Miranda Barbour stabbed him.

Miranda Barbour, 18, told police in Pennsylvania that she lured Troy LaFerrara, 42, to this parking lot at the Susquehanna Valley Mall before their fatal encounter.

The 42-year-old Port Trevorton man was stabbed 20 times, police said.

Miranda Barbour was charged Wednesday. She initially denied knowing LaFerrara, but her story evolved as investigators gathered evidence, including the discovery that the last call received by the victim's cellphone was made from her number, according to a police affidavit.

The affidavit said Miranda Barbour acknowledged meeting the victim in Selinsgrove then driving with him to Sunbury, where they parked. She said LaFerrara groped her and she took a knife from between the front seats and stabbed him after he put his hand around her throat, according to the affidavit.

Police said Miranda Barbour had told them she purchased cleaning supplies at a department store after stabbing LaFerrara, then picked up her husband and took him to a strip club for his birthday. On Friday, police said Elytte Barbour told them it was he that had purchased the cleaning products, an account investigators said was backed up by surveillance footage.

Following his wife's arrest, Elytte Barbour told The Daily Item of Sunbury his wife, whom he married on Oct. 22, regularly hired herself out as a "companion" to men she met on various websites, a business venture he said he supported because it did not involve sexual contact.

Barbour said his wife made anywhere from $50 to $850 for meeting with men for such activities as having dinner or walking around a mall. The ads she placed on websites including Craigslist all said upfront that sex was not part of the deal, he said.

"She is not a prostitute," he said. "What she does is meet men who have broken marriages or have no one in their lives and she meets with them and has delightful conversation."

Elytte Barbour did not have an attorney at his arraignment Friday night. A phone message left for his wife's public defender early Saturday was not immediately returned.

Sunbury police Chief Steve Mazzeo told The Daily Item that investigators will also be looking into the death of a man with whom Miranda Barbour had a 1-year-old child. He would not elaborate.

Paul Walker ~ Man arrested for theft of Porsche parts

An 18-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly stealing a part from the Porsche involved in the crash that killed “Fast and the Furious” star Paul Walker, authorities reported.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department says Tujunga resident Jameson Witty took the roof panel from the charred Porsche Carrera GT as it was being towed away Saturday from the crash site.

The flat-bed tow truck left the Valencia crash site at around 10 p.m. and was being followed by several vehicles as it headed east on Newhall Ranch Road, officials said. Police believe Witty and another man exited one of those vehicles when the tow truck stopped at a red light, pulled off the Porsche’s red T-top roof panel and drove off. 

The tow truck driver reported the alleged theft to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.The flat-bed tow truck left the Valencia crash site at around 10 p.m. and was being followed by several vehicles as it headed east on Newhall Ranch Road, officials said. Police believe Witty and another man exited one of those vehicles when the tow truck stopped at a red light, pulled off the Porsche’s red T-top roof panel and drove off.

Deputies were able to identify Witty as the suspect and arrested him Thursday morning at his home.

The stolen panel was later recovered when detectives served a search warrant at a Canyon Country home.

It was unclear if the suspects stole the panel to sell or to keep as a memento.

Officials say they've tracked down a second suspect, an unidentified 25-year-old man outside California who was making arrangements to turn himself in.

Witty and the second suspect will likely be charged with felony grand theft and tampering with evidence, the LASD reported. Witty’s bail was set at $20,000 and he’s due in court Monday.

The crash investigation is ongoing.

Witnesses say the crash happened minutes after Walker left a fundraising event, held by his charity Reach Out Worldwide for super-typhoon Haiyan victims, at around 3:30 p.m. Saturday in Valencia. The 40-year-old star was riding in the passenger seat of friend Roger Rodas’ Porsche.

Moments later the car had slammed into light pole and burst into flames, killing both Walker and Rodas. Authorities say speed was a factor in the crash.

Authorities urged anyone with information about the theft of the vehicle parts to call detectives at (661) 255-1121. Anonymous tips can be given at (800) 222-TIPS (8477), by texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or at lacrimestoppers.org.

Paul Walker Dies at 40: 'Fast and Furious' star killed in fiery car crash

Santa Clarita, California - Actor Paul Walker, who shot to fame as star of the high-octane street racing franchise "Fast & Furious," died Saturday in a car crash in Southern California. He was 40.

Walker's publicist Ame van Iden confirmed his death, but said she could not elaborate beyond statements posted on Walker's official Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Walker was a passenger in a friend's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT and both were attending a charity event for his organization, Reach Out Worldwide, in the community of Valencia in Santa Clarita, about 30 miles north of Hollywood.

The website for the charity said the Saturday event was intended to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Speed was a factor in the crash, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office said.

The wreck took place about 3:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. ET), about 300 yards from the office park where the event was held. The speed limit there is 45 mph.

Up and down the road near the crash site were burned rubber and doughnut marks as though someone smoked their tires in figure 8 patterns.

"I don't know if the marks in the road are related to the crash," said Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Brian Allen.

Deputies arrived at the scene to find a vehicle on fire, he said

Once fire crews put the flames out, they found two occupants, both of whom were pronounced dead at the scene.

Saturday evening, all that remained was the burnt mangled metal of the red car and a light pole that had been knocked down.

The county coroner said that, given the condition of the bodies, it will take some time to definitively identify them.

Box office success

Walker's career began on the small screen, first with a commercial for Pampers when he was 2, and then with parts in shows such as "Highway to Heaven" and "Touched By An Angel."

His first few movie roles were as supporting characters in teen flicks, most notably in "Varsity Blues."

His career really took off when he was cast as undercover cop Brian O'Conner infiltrating a street-racing gang in 2001's "The Fast and the Furious."

The box-office success of the surprise summer hit yielded numerous sequels. And along with Vin Diesel, Walker was one of the franchise stalwarts.

At the time of his death, he was working on the seventh film of the franchise, due out next year.

Walker wasn't just a car enthusiast on the silver screen, off-screen, the actor competed in the "Redline Time Attack" racing series.

On his verified Twitter account, Walker described himself as "outdoorsman, ocean addict, adrenaline junkie ... and I do some acting on the side."

Walker also is the star of "Hours," an independent film scheduled to be released December 13 about a father struggling to keep his newborn infant alive in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

Twitter and other social media exploded with reactions to Walker's death.

"Completely numb and saddened to hear of the tragic death of Paul Walker," wrote one.

Hollywood condolences came from Will Smith, Jack Osbourne, DMX and others.

"No, @RealPaulWalker. No. No. No," tweeted actress Alyssa Milano. Walker guest-appeared with her in the 80s comedy, "Who's The Boss?" "Rest with the angels. You. Sweet boy. #beauty #love #RIP."

He is survived by his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow.
