An increased number of deer are hit by cars around this time of year. Dawn and dusk are when wildlife traffic is at its height and visibility is a challenge. Drivers should look for deer where drainages intersect with the road and be aware that deer rarely travel alone. If there’s one deer, more are probably nearby.
If a deer and car collide, the driver should pull off to the side of the road, turn on the vehicle’s hazard lights and not approach the wounded deer, which could rise up to kick, bite or even gore a person.
