Deer accidents require roadside assistance in Illinois.
A recent article in the Belleville News-Democrat caught our attention. If anything, it caught our attention because every year at this time we see a flurry of the same subject matter as if it were actually “news.” It’s not.
The message is the same every year. Bambi’s a killer. In Illinois there are a million deer out there who have two things on their minds: making baby deer and causing car accidents. Denial is futile.
Think about yourself among 137 other people. You probably have multiples of that among your Facebook friends. Out of every 137 people in Illinois one of them will be involved in a deer vehicle collision.
The roads in Illinois are only becoming more and more dangerous as development encroaches on their natural habitat. All hours between dusk and dawn are dangerous, although darkness adds another risk factor that might lead to hitting a deer.
Insurance companies, such as State Farm, keep track of the sobering statistics involving drivers hitting large animals. The advice is always the same. Stay alert. Moderate your speed so there is less danger from having to swerve to avoid a collision at a high rate of speed. Pay extra attention in areas with posted deer crossing signs. Use your high beams on country roads to give deer a chance to see you coming.
