Chatham-Kent Police are reminding drivers to watch for wildlife while behind the wheel.

Be especially mindful during dusk and dawn, which is when most collisions with deer occur.

The Chatham-Kent Police Service offers the following tips:

  • Use high beams at night, when possible, and watch for the glowing eyes of animals.
  • If an animal is crossing the road, stop as safely as possible, in your lane.
  • Remember, if one animal crosses the road, others may follow.
  • Never swerve suddenly. This may cause you to lose control of your vehicle, resulting in a more serious collision.

The Toronto Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins will play Game 1 of the best of three American League Wild Card series this afternoon.

The Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays will play in the other American League Wild Card series.

Toronto lost in the Wild Card playoffs last season to the Seattle Mariners. Missed the playoffs by one game in 2021 and were swept by the Rays in the wild-card series in 2020. Toronto won World Series titles in 1992 and 1993.
