• Do not swerve out of your lane or lose control of the vehicle. It is generally safer to hit the deer than to risk hitting another motorist.
• Apply your brakes firmly, hold on to the steering wheel and bring your vehicle to a controlled stop.
• If you have injured a deer, do not remove it from the roadway unless you are convinced that it has died. An injured deer’s sharp hooves can easily hurt you.
• Report the crash to the nearest law enforcement agency as soon as possible. Also, be sure to report the accident to your insurance company.
