St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese wasn’t injured Thursday afternoon when he crashed his SUV into a tree in west St. Louis County as he tried to avoid a deer in the road, according to police, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
Freese, 29, crashed his 2011 black Range Rover into a tree in suburban Wildwood to avoid the deer at 2:30 p.m. CT, a St. Louis County Police spokesman said.

Freese did not hit the deer and was out of his SUV when police arrived. He refused medical treatment, and the Range Rover was towed from the crash scene.
Investigators say alcohol was not a factor in the crash and "no other investigations are under way."
Freese's record includes several allegations of driving while intoxicated and a crash on an icy road that injured his foot and sent him back to the minor
