Autumn Boosts Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions in East Hesse: Police Advise Caution

Autumn, also known as the fall season, brings an increased risk of wildlife-vehicle collisions in East Hesse, with shorter days and changing clocks. The police department in East Hesse, led by press spokesperson Alisa Jockel, advises drivers on handling such incidents.

Drivers involved in wildlife collisions should follow East Hesse Police guidelines. The risk is highest during dawn and dusk, and in transition zones between wooded areas and open fields. Warning signs like 'Wildlife Crossing' or 'Wildlife Crossing with Time Indication' can help drivers prepare. A 20-kilogram roe deer can cause significant damage, with an impact force equivalent to several hundred kilograms at 100 km/h.

Autumn increases the likelihood of wildlife-vehicle collisions in East Hesse. Drivers should be cautious, especially during peak hours and in high-risk areas. The East Hesse Police provide guidance for handling such incidents.
