It’s deer season, and they’re doing what deer do best—running around like they own the place!
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, deer-related crashes spike after daylight saving time ends, especially around sunrise and sunset. If you see a deer on the road, brake—don’t swerve. They travel in groups, so if one appears, assume it brought friends.
Stay alert, stay steady and get to work and home safely!
