deer

Mount Olive police came to the rescue.

Last week a friend of mine was in an accident when a buck darted in front of his car. He is ok, but it got me thinking about the accident I had when I hit a deer and the many more close calls. Research just released has pinpointed the areas in Monmouth and Ocean counties that have a high rate of car/deer accidents.

We've all probably had a close call with our cars and and deer, or even worse, an accident. This radio listener says it happens because municipalities put deer crossings on highly traveled roads. She continues stating her theory by saying we should move the crossing signs to less traveled areas, so the deer know it's safer to cross there. Because you know, the signs are for the deer and not us. Li
