A northern Idaho woman blamed a car crash with a deer on a Sasquatch sighting last week.

The woman told police she collided with the deer after spotting a Bigfoot on a highway near Potlatch near the Washington border, according to NBC Montana.

The woman said the Sasquatch was chasing the deer Wednesday night along the side of the road, and as she watched the creature in her rear-view mirror, the deer veered onto the road in front of her car.

The Benewah County Sheriff's Office issued the report on the accident, but did not report any evidence of a Sasquatch, NBC Montana reported.
