What To Do if You Collide with an Animal

Motorists collide with deer, moose, and bear everyday in the North Country. It's just another hazard associated with operating a car on our roads. Stay alert and drive with caution but when all else fails;


Here's what you should do if you hit an animal while driving

• In New Hampshire, if there is damage to the vehicle when you strike something, including colliding with an animal, you are required to file a report.

• Call the police or animal control immediately so they can take proper measures if the animal is injured or dead.

• Examine the animal to make sure it is not injured or hurt. If it's a bear - stay in the car.

Do not pick up the animal, whatever size it is. It could kick or bite you.

Stay with the injured animal (in your car if necessary) until help arrives.

Alert oncoming cars of the accident with your high beams, hazards or flares.
