Throwing a blanket over the deer and taking a knife to the throat of the animal might not have been the most clean situation but would have been the fastest and safest way to put it down. I completely disagree that it would have the same level of public outrage as trying to run it over multiple times to finish it off. I keep a hunting knife in the bottom of the centre consel of my vehicles for this very purpose if i were to hit a deer. And yes, i unfortunately had to do it once to a deer i hit in my work truck.
