The vehicle sustained mechanical damage.The most dangerous time of day for accidents involving ungulates is night and evening twilight. During this time, drivers' eyesight and attentiveness decrease, while animals, on the contrary, increase their activity – in the evening they move closer to food, and in the morning they return to their overnight resting places deep in the forest.
Every driver must be prepared to react if a wild animal suddenly appears on the road. It is forbidden to take a hit animal with you. In such a case, the driver's actions will be equated to illegal hunting, which carries criminal liability.
Choosing a safe speed in forest areas, attentiveness and caution when driving through dangerous sections, especially within the scope of the "Wild Animals" warning sign, will help avoid accidents.
