Deer-Vehicle Crashes Peak During Fall Months

Motorists and motorcyclists are reminded to be especially cautious of deer this fall as most deer-vehicle crashes that are reported to the Camillus Police Department take place in October, November and December.

Autumn is historically a dangerous time on the roads as deer breeding season, crop harvest activity and hunting increase deer movement. Deer are a common sight along our roads. The deer do unpredictable things, like stop in the middle of the road, or cross and quickly re-cross. Motorists and riders need to stay focused and drive or ride defensively by looking for reflecting deer eyes and silhouettes, especially during low-light times, especially in forested and farm areas.
To report a Deer-Vehicle Accident in Camillus please call (315) 435-2333 or 911 if an emergency.
