From Barton County...
It happens to the best drivers. So in the event that you hit a deer, Barton County Sheriff Brian Bellendir recommends that you should take the following steps:
*Pull to the side of the road as soon as it is safe to do so.
*Turn on your hazard lights and remain in the vehicle until you are sure it is safe.
*Call 911 if injuries are involved. If you believe you are safe and just need to notify emergency services, call 620.793.1920 – that’s the administrative line at Communications.
*Stay away from the deer. If it is still alive, it could be confused, injured and dangerous if approached.
*When contacting the authorities, let them know if the deer is in a dangerous spot on the road so that it can be removed.
