BARTON COUNTY —Deputies in Barton County worked five car-deer accidents overnight Tuesday, according to Sheriff Brian Bellendir.

This is an unusually high number for a single night. Normally deer are not as active this time of year. It is possible the recent flooding may have destroyed habitat and the animals are on the move, according to Bellendir.

Drivers are advised to use caution when traveling in the late evening and during the night-time hours. None of the accidents resulted in injury.
