Foxes prefer smaller game like rabbits, since a healthy adult deer would probably be too hard for a fox to kill. However a sick or injured deer, or a fawn might be a tempting target for a fox.

What is and how does road kill happen?
Road kill is when a wild animal such as a fox or even a bird gets caught on the road and gets hit. Much of it is due to people throwing out trash. To a fox trash is nothing but, when a rabbit has been killed by a car, eating trash, then a fox will want to eat the rabbit. When the fox goes out there he is too busy eating to notice that another car has come. Since a fox is small it is hard for a car to see it so the it is usually to late for a fox to make a get away. What I find weird is that deer have been killed by cars before. So either when a deer is on the road that the drivers are ignorant or the people in the care don't even care there is a deer on the road. That is why sometimes in books or on tv or something like that you will hear "I looked like a deer caught in headlights".
