MDOT advises drivers to watch for deer on the road
SUMMARY: As fall arrives in Mississippi, deer are more active, prompting the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to urge motorists to remain vigilant to prevent accidents. Although deer season peaks from October to January, deer-related incidents can occur year-round, with an average of 3,900 crashes annually. MDOT advises drivers not to swerve to avoid hitting deer, as this could lead to more severe accidents. Extra caution should be exercised during dawn and dusk when deer are most active, and using high beams at night can help increase visibility.
