Injured Sambar Deer Causes Traffic Jam On SLE
A fatally injured sambar deer was found lying on Seletar Expressway on the side of the road towards Central Expressway, causing traffic there to slow to a crawl yesterday morning. The deer, aged three to four years old, was hit by a vehicle.Source: AsiaOne
This hit and run incident is reminiscent of the Silviu Ionescu case. I think a lot of drivers must be overspeeding or drink driving at night. It makes our roads extremely dangerous during the wee hours.
According to the National Parks board, this sambar deer should belong to the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, rather than the Singapore Zoo or Night Safari.
As there are very few wildlife in Singapore, we should try our best to protect these sambar deers.
Singaporeans are unlikely to stop their cars and investigate the injuries or call the ambulance if they knock down a deer.
Perhaps, the authorities should take preventive measures by erecting barricades or signages to warn drivers to slow down in that vicinity.
