OPP Warn Drivers to Watch for Wildlife

Ontario Provincial Police are warning drivers to watch out for wildlife.

East Algoma OPP report they've seen 24 collisions so far this month, with six - a quarter of those collisions - involving deer, as the animals are moving around with the more spring-like weather, meaning a high presence of deer along roads such as the Trans-Canada highway.

Emphasizing deer seldom run alone, OPP remind motorists to especially be aware during the morning or afternoon - as deer tend to be more active in early morning or late afternoon - elevating awareness near deer crossing signs, and using high beams at night when there's no oncoming traffic.
