I know I started this - unintentionally starting a long discussion about
deer on the roads. Ottawa area has the highest number of deer hits in the
whole province of Ontario. There are often community notices on our local
tv channels warning people of how to avoid collisions (don't swerve, slow
down generally at dawn and dusk etc etc), but that doesn't help when the
deer don't do the same. A friend's mum had a collision with a deer or
rather a deer had a collision with my friend's mum. The police happened to
be going by and stopped to see if she needed help and told her that she was
lucky and wouldn't be charged for hitting the deer as it was obvious the
deer had hit her - it ran into the side of her car hitting it just behind
the driver's door.
Malvary in Ottawa hoping that with all the rain today and a flash freeze
forecast for later in the day that the deer are all in the woods sheltering
under the trees out of the rain.
