Deer Jumping To Their Deaths From An Overpass In Elk County

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- More than two dozen deer have jumped to their deaths in a small town in Elk County just outside the Allegheny National Forest.

People who live in the area say the deer wander out onto an overpass before getting spooked and jumping off.

Area residents want PennDOT to put up a fence to try and prevent the deer from jumping.

PennDOT hopes to come up with a solution in the next few weeks.
