The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is warning drivers to be extra cautious this fall for deer activity during mating season.
According to Wis-DOT, over 17-thousand deer-related crashes happened last year, causing nine deaths. Drivers are advised to reduce speed, stay alert at dawn and dusk, and avoid swerving if a collision is unavoidable. After a crash, drivers should call 911 if injuries occur or the animal blocks the road, and stay inside the vehicle until help arrives.
