Cited Driver Claims Deer Ran Into Car
Item: Driver cited after collision with deer: Petition started over woman’s ‘inattentive driving’ citation /David Cole, Coeur d’Alene Press
More Info: Newcombe declined to comment Friday, other than to say a petition has been started to support dismissal of the charge. The petition said the deer ran into her car. An affidavit filed in court in Kootenai County by an ISP trooper said visibility and road conditions were good at the time of the accident. To help drivers avoid collisions with wildlife, areas on both sides of the road had been “deforested” to improve motorists’ visibility, the document said.
Question: Should a driver be cited for inattention driver for hitting a deer, whether or not the deer ran into the vehicle or vice versa?
