An attempt to avoid a deer still ended with a 72-year-old Forestville man getting dizzy and suffering a cut lip after he hit a bush and a tree Saturday afternoon. The accident occurred around 4:15 p.m. on County DK near Sand Hill Road in the Town of Union.

According to the accident report, the man was traveling northbound when a deer ran into the middle of the road. When he swerved to avoid it, he entered a homeowner’s yard, drove through a bush, and struck a tree.

Although the car had to be towed due to the damage, emergency responders evaluated the man at the scene but did not transport him.

November is one of the busiest months of the year for deer movement due to the rut and hunting season. Since last Thursday, ten car-versus-deer accidents have been reported to the Door County Sheriff’s Department.
