Collision with moose sends driver to hospital

PENNEFATHER TWP, ON - Monday morning at 6:15 a.m. a motorist travelling southbound on Thielman Road in Goulais River, collided with a moose on the roadway.

OPP remind motorists to drive with caution.

Wildlife collisions occur most frequently between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. to midnight.

Drive cautiously through areas identified as high risk by wildlife crossing signs.

Slow down.

Visibility is greatly reduced at night and so is a driver’s reaction time.

Scan the road continuously, shoulder to shoulder.

Always slow down when passing wildlife - it may suddenly jump into your lane.
