The Saline County Sheriff's Office reports a surge in deer-related crashes, with 11 incidents recorded since November 11, including one resulting in minor injuries. The increase coincides with peak deer rutting season, when deer movement intensifies due to mating behavior.
Law enforcement warns drivers against swerving to avoid deer, noting this reaction often leads to more severe accidents. The Sheriff's Office urges increased vigilance during this period of heightened deer activity.
