As it accelerated through 110 knots, two Roe deer ran across the runway from the left and collided with the right landing gear. The takeoff was abandoned and the aircraft brought to a standstill using engine reverse power. No abnormal indications were seen on the flight deck and the aircraft was taxied back to the terminal area for a visual inspection. The two Roe deer were killed by the collision and the aircraft substantially damaged. Deer had been sighted on the airfield for some weeks prior to the accident and action was planned to remove them. NOTAM action had not been taken."
