Flight crew of a beech 1900 airliner (BE02), aborted the takeoff and executed an emergency overwing exit of passenger after striking a deer during the takeoff roll. The aircraft's left engine could only be shut off by cutting the fuel supply since throttle cable action was affected by the damage. There were no flight crew or passenger injuries during the emergency evacuate/evacuation.

Narrative:
During the takeoff roll on runway 15 at bangor, me, I noticed several deer crossing my takeoff path. The airspeed was below V1 and I aborted the takeoff. Unfortunately 1 animal was struck causing damage to the left engine and propeller. The engine was secured by pulling the fuel shutoff valve (condition lever was inoperative due to damage), and I directed the first officer to evacuate/evacuation the passenger on the right side of the aircraft by using the 2 overwing exits. There were no injuries to the passenger or crew. I immediately notified my director of operations and the FAA was also called in. The FAA classified the occurrence as an incident, and no action was taken against the flight crew or company.
