Police warn about deer

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation issued a warning today that asked drivers to be vigilant for the month of June, especially watching out for deer on the road.
According to police, 16,338 crashes occurred in 2009 between deer and vehicles in Wisconsin alone. Dane County reported 873 crashes within its borders. Although lower, Waukesha County reported 680 crashes. The third most frequent deer-vehicle crashing county, Shawano County, reported that its 648 crashes accounted for over half of all vehicle crashes in the county.
Motorcyclists need to be especially careful, as these crashes can prove fatal without the full bulk of a car or truck to protect the driver or passengers.
Law enforcement officials offered safety tips for motorists. They noted that deer are most active in the early morning and in the evening. Deer seldom travel alone, and if one is spotted, it is likely that another is nearby. Deer will not move solely because of head lights. If a deer is on the side of the road, slow down and blare the car horn with one long blast.
If you or someone you know has been injured while on the road, you may be eligible for compensation for your damages. Contact Habush, Habush & Rottier, S.C., the Waukesha road defect lawyers, by calling 800-242-2874.

A 6-year-old girl was hit and injured by a vehicle Tuesday afternoon when she was walking home from Converse Elementary School in Beloit, Wis., authorities said. Police said the second-grader was crossing an intersection when a sport utility vehicle struck her. Reports say she sustained minor injuries in the accident.
Several people blame the school district for not providing safer routes, since there is no sidewalk near the school, and students must walk on the road or in the ditch to get to school. The school is also considering placing a crossing guard near the campus to prevent another pedestrian accident.

Officials remind public about car safety rules

Officials are asking the public to remember car safety rules after two runaway car incidents this week. In the past week, both a toddler and a dog drove away in vehicles left unattended. Authorities say these things are easily preventable.
Officials say that running vehicles should never be left unattended, especially if someone is inside the vehicle, and leaving anyone in a vehicle can be dangerous as temperatures climb. They also said an idling vehicle is an easy target for theft. Crashes and other accidents in these situations happen more frequently than people suppose, authorities said.
