(Kingsbury, IN) - Two people were hurt in a motor vehicle collision with a deer this morning in La Porte County.

Emergency responders on Wednesday morning were called to U.S 35 in Kingsbury.

Initial reports indicated a man and woman inside a vehicle complained of pain to various areas of their bodies after striking a deer with their automobile. So far, it appears none of the injuries were significant.

This time of year is when the risk is high for motorists to collide with deer running more often from the mating season and being chased out of places of cover from crops being harvested. Drivers are encouraged to be alert and cautious.
