Driver rolls over on I-495 after swerving to avoid a deer, hitting another deer
An early morning drive ended in an ugly crash Thursday due to multiple deer in the road on I-495, according to Massachusetts State Police.
Driving southbound, just south of the I-93 intersection, police said the driver swerved to avoid a deer in the travel lane, but ended up striking another deer and then rolling over off the road.
Despite doing heavy damage to their sedan, the driver was got away with non-life-threatening injuries and “should be OK,” according to state police.
“It is a good reminder to all motorists, that especially around dawn or dusk, deer are out and about,” police said Thursday, adding that drivers should “keep a high visual horizon, for anything that should not be on the roadway.”
