Read the full NTSB narrative

The first officer landed the airplane upon completion of a night ILS approach. Just after touchdown, the airplane struck a deer in the vicinity of the left engine. The deer had been crossing the runway from left to right. The captain shut down the engine and taxied to the gate. Post-accident examination of the airplane revealed that the engine firewall was cracked, one propeller blade was bent, and another blade had separated near the hub. The separated portion of the blade was found about 300 feet from where the collision occurred. Weather at the time included a 600-foot overcast layer.
