Sudbury OPP are reminding motorists to be aware of wildlife hazards after a pair of collisions involving moose and motor vehicles last week.
On Jan. 7, at approximately 6:40 p.m., Sudbury OPP responded to a car versus moose collision on Highway 144 in Greater Sudbury. A motorist travelling northbound on Hwy 144 struck a moose.
The motorist suffered no injuries and her vehicle was towed from the scene. This motorist was able to react and apply the brakes prior to striking the moose which is likely the reason she wasn't injured.
On Jan. 8, at around 1:30 a.m. Sudbury OPP again responded to a collision involving a moose and a vehicle when a tractor trailer struck a moose while travelling southbound on Highway 69.
The tractor trailer operator suffered no injuries and the vehicle was towed from the scene.
The OPP are reminding motorists of wildlife hazards at all hours of the day but most commonly at dusk and dawn.
Reducing your speed can significantly increase your reaction time.
