“Reports are true. RV did hit a deer. No one injured. Campaign will continue on,” Ernst’s campaign account tweeted shortly after the collision.
Ernst followed up with a tweet herself, assuring the public that everyone on the bus was safe.
Thank goodness we are all okay RT @JoniForIowa: Reports are true. RV did hit a deer. No one injured. Campaign will continue on. #iasen

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was campaigning with the Iowa Senate hopeful on Wednesday and was among those onboard when the RV hit a deer just miles away from the final campaign stop.
