The number of wildlife accidents increases in May

Between 23 and 05, six different wildlife accidents have occurred in the county, in Norrköping, Motala and Linköping.

Wildlife accidents with deer increase in May. There are almost as many wildlife accidents in May as during the autumn months. This is because the animals become more active in May. The hinds are chasing away the last year's calves, which now have to fend for themselves and find new places. This means that more animals are on the move.

Prevent wildlife accidents by adapting your driving. 
Slow down: Use lower speed in dawn and dusk, when the risk is greatest.
Keep an eye out: Look far ahead and towards the dike edge.
