Minor injuries after moose, vehicle collide on Hwy. 11 in northern Ont.
Two people received minor injuries Sunday evening when a vehicle and a moose collided on Highway 11.
The moose was killed in the crash, Ontario Provincial Police said Monday, reminding residents the risk of hitting a moose is higher this time of year.
“As we enter into a higher risk season for moose activity on our highways, a collision last night in Cochrane serves as a reminder to drive cautiously, especially at night,” the OPP said in a news release.
“The driver and passenger suffered minor injuries, including a hoof coming through the driver's side window.”
James Bay OPP offer these ways to reduce the risk of a moose collision:
-Be cautious in areas of reduced visibility, hills, curves, and dense vegetation.
-Use your high beams when possible (low beams for oncoming traffic)
-Keep your eyes on the road, scanning for wildlife. A passenger can do this too.
-If you have the choice, avoid driving the highway at higher-risk times: dusk and dawn.
“If you hit a moose, pull over safely (if possible) and activate your four-way hazard lights,” police said.
“Do not approach an injured animal and call police even if you're unsure of damage.”
