In the event that your vehicle collides with an animal:

·        Pull off to the side of the road and call the local police department.

·        Do not attempt to move the animal if it is lying in the middle of the road.

·        Do not leave your vehicle to check on an injured animal, as it may still be alive and potentially dangerous to you.
