Yadi grabbed a banana on her way out the door. Coach always advised a small snack before running. She got in her 2004 Beetle and headed to the trail. While still driving, she lowered the window and tossed the peel into the grass. A deer appeared out of nowhere. Yadi turned the wheel and crashed into an oak tree.
