Stark records most deer-related accidents in Ohio

November has consistently been one of the most dangerous months for Stark County drivers, according to data from the Ohio State Highway Patrol. According to OSHP statistics, drivers in Ohio have had 114,233 deer-involved crashes since 2021. Fifty fatalities were reported in those incidents. Stark County is leading the pack with 3,542 deer-related crashes since the beginning of 2021. Of those five years, drivers in Stark County had their highest total in 2025 with 735. Stark County drivers have had 484 deer-auto crashes so far in November. None were fatal. "Stark has a large number of roadways that run through areas with active deer populations, combined with a high volume of traffic. Generally, when there are more vehicles and more opportunities for deer to cross roadways, there will be more deer-related crashes," Sgt. Jeremy Kindler said in an email. Although motorcyclists have been involved in 1% of deer-related crashes, they account for 82% of the fatal crashes, the OSHP release said. “By staying alert and committing to safe driving practices, you can significantly reduce your risk of being involved in a crash,” OSHP superintendent Col.

Licking County to close River Road at SR 16, citing traffic safety concerns

Licking County will completely close but permit emergency access at River Road and State Road 16 in a push to keep drivers safe. There isn’t a merge lane for commuters turning onto Route 16 from River Road, which the Ohio Department of Transportation said threatens traffic safety . The agency believes closing the intersection could help prevent crashes after there were 14, half of which resulted in injuries, there between 2021 and 2025. The intersection is 7 miles west of Newark in Granville Township. The closure will shift how residents in the Mill Race neighborhood access the highway, pushing them to James Road and others that ODOT expects would see more traffic because of the change. Commissioner Tim Bubb, Duane Flowers and Rick Black voted unanimously Nov. 2 to approve a petition from ODOT to close the intersection to commuters but allow emergency access. Each of them cited safety in their reasoning, with Bubb stating he believes safety concerns outweigh convenience. "At the end of the day, safety for our children, people who live here and thousands of people who drive on that intersection – safety trumps just about everything," Bubb said during a Nov. 2 meeting. "Tolerating an unsafe
