Deer Involved Auto Accidents
During November you're twice as likely than any other month of the year to be involved in a deer related auto accident. The Ohio State Highway Patrol reminds drivers of the following safety tips: * Be aware of the time: Deer are most active between sunset and sunrise. * Scan the road: Look beyond your immediate headlights and scan the roadsides for deer. * Deer travel in groups: If you see one deer, assume others are nearby. * Brake, don't swerve: If a collision is unavoidable, apply the brakes but remain in your lane. Swerving can lead to a more severe crash. * After the crash: Pull safely off the roadway and call 911 or the nearest patrol post to report the crash. Do not approach an injured deer.
