Two deer were killed and another injured during car accidents in
Bang Saray.
A May 3 accident at the 164-kilometer mark on Sukhumvit Road resulted in
the death of a 62 kg. adult female and severely injured a 30 kg. young
male. The animal, which suffered a badly broken leg, was transferred to
a veterinarian for further care.
The driver did not stop and could not be located by authorities.
Sawang Rojthummasathan officials also reported that hours earlier an
adult male deer was hit by a car driven by a local village chief. The
animal, presumed to be the father of the injured fawn, was killed near
the same area.
Wildlife officials speculated the animals had ventured down from the
hills in search of food.
