Appleton woman injured in vehicle collision with deer

A 57-year-old Appleton woman suffered possible injuries following her run-in with a deer in the Town of Union Tuesday night. The accident occurred just after 5 p.m. on State Highway 57, about a mile north of Sun N Surf Drive. The woman was traveling southbound on the highway when a deer ran out in front of her vehicle. The sports utility vehicle she was driving had to be towed due to disabling damage. Despite suffering from a possible injury, she did not have to be transported to the hospital for additional treatment. November is by far the busiest time for vehicle vs. deer collisions in Door County. Last year, there were 61 reported deer hits in November last year, over two dozen more than the next busiest months of June (35 deer hits), January (33), and October (33). The Wisconsin Department of Transportation recommends you brake firmly and stay in your lane if you notice a deer in your path and keep your eyes open for others that may be following it. If you do hit a deer, you should pull over, call law enforcement, and stay inside your vehicle.
