Motorcyclist injured in deer collision
A motorcyclist’s run-in with a deer showed why you should always wear the proper attire when riding. A 23-year-old Sturgeon Bay man was knocked off his bike when he struck a deer on Ripp Road in the Town of Sevastopol before 3:45 p.m. Saturday. According to the accident report, the man was wearing a helmet, gloves, and long pants when he hit the deer, saying he could not stop. He suffered suspected minor injuries in the crash, and he was taken to Door County Medical Center for further treatment after complaining about a leg injury and scratches on his elbows. According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, May and June are often busy for deer-vehicle collisions due to young deer searching for new home ranges.
