In Schuyler County this past week, law enforcement reported numerous traffic incidents and violations, emphasizing the risks on local roads. Key among these were multiple collisions with deer, highlighting a surge in wildlife encounters that may pose hazards to drivers. Notably, on different occasions, drivers in various vehicles, including newer models like a 2023 Buick and a 2024 Ford, experienced these wildlife strikes across well-traveled routes such as RT 67 and RT 101.
Additional incidents included a rear-end collision caused by a 2024 Ford 4×4, and a significant off-road crash involving a 2006 Honda Accord. Speeding remains a critical concern, with several citations issued for exceeding limits dramatically, one as high as 92 mph in a 55 mph zone. The local sheriff’s office continues to urge drivers to adhere to traffic laws, especially with the upcoming Labor Day Weekend, reminding the community to prioritize safety. These efforts are part of broader attempts to reduce accidents and enhance road safety for all.
