It’s the time of year that Indiana State and Local Police see more deer related car accidents than any other time of the year.
ISP Sgt. Joe Watts says deer are more active this time of year because it’s their mating season..and there are other factors…
Rural roads are more likely to see deer related traffic accidents, but it’s not uncommon to hit a deer along a busy interstate, like Interstate 69.
Watts recommends you let law enforcement officers or INDOT workers deal with a deer carcass if you come across one lying in the middle of a roadway. Simply call INDOT or any police department’s non-emergency line to report it.
