Motorists are advised to pay special attention this time of year due to the increased possibility of collisions with deer.
According the Pennsylvania State Game Commission, deer are especially active this time of year due to mating season as well as increased feeding to store up energy for the winter season.
A recent report states that the likelihood of hitting a deer in Pennsylvania is one in 51 drivers. Deer often travel in groups and walk single file so a deer that has just crossed the road means that more deer could be following.
The Game Commission recommends that drivers slow down when possible and always stay alert for the possibility of a deer on the road.
