Motorists warned of deer danger

National Highways and the British Deer Society are warning drivers to be extra vigilant for deer on or near roads.

They warned that there is a substantial increase in deer vehicle collisions from October to December.

A spokesman said: “Poorer driving conditions and fewer hours of daylight, coupled with the annual breeding season (the rut) for red, sika and fallow deer, make this a high-risk time of year.
