Armed police were called to an injured deer thought to have been hit by a car on a Wigan road.

A spokesman said: “It was determined that there was a badly injured deer which kept wandering into the road. The injuries it had sustained meant that it wouldn’t survive. The deer was humanely despatched of and a member of the public removed the carcass.
"Street cleaning was then arranged on Shevington Lane.”
