Kentucky State Police issue warning about deer
SUMMARY: As fall arrives, the Kentucky State Police is warning drivers about increased deer-related accidents. Trooper David Jones advises motorists to slow down if they spot a deer, as they often travel in groups. Each year, about 1 million car collisions with deer occur in the U.S., resulting in approximately 200 fatalities. In Kentucky, there were over 3,000 deer-related crashes in 2023, leading to three deaths and more than 200 injuries. If a deer appears suddenly, Trooper Jones emphasizes braking rather than swerving to avoid accidents and recommends staying distraction-free while driving for enhanced safety.
With fall comes deer, Kentucky State Police are issuing a warning about the increase in deer to drivers.
