Car vs. deer collisions leave motorists injured
Two incidents earlier this week served as a reminder that deer activity remains high in Wisconsin and you should remain vigilant while driving. On Tuesday, a Madison man was injured when a deer struck his vehicle, County Road F, in the Town of Gibraltar. According to the incident report, the man was driving eastbound at 6:10 p.m. when the deer ran into the driver’s side of his vehicle. The man suffered minor injuries from flying glass and had a sore left shoulder because of the collision, but he did not have to be transported for treatment. The deer could not be located after the crash. A day later, a De Pere man struck a deer while traveling on County Road C in Nasewaupee. Just before 9:20 p.m., the deer came out of the ditch and hit the vehicle's passenger side. The man’s passenger suffered a minor injury to his arm as a result of the collision, but it did not require medical transport. This is the second busiest time for car vs. deer collisions in the state because of the spring fawning season and yearling deer searching out new ranges. Last year, Door County saw 35 deer hits in June, second only to November (61).
