Police are advising those travelling on HWY 64 to keep a lookout for bison.
On December 16, 2021 at 11:18 p.m., OPP responded to a single motor vehicle collision on Highway 64, in West Nipissing.
From the investigation, the motor vehicle had hit a Bison from a local farm and it is believed that seven more Bison are still roaming the area.
No person had been injured from the crash.
Media Relations Officer Robert Lewis says as of this morning the bison are still roaming around.
Police say bison are wild animals. Even though they look docile, bison are dangerous, unpredictable, and may charge without warning.
The OPP is advising motorists who travel on Highway 64, between Field and Sturgeon Falls to use extreme caution and do not approach any of these animals.
Contact the Nipissing West OPP Detachment at 1-888-310-1122, if a Bison is observed on or near the highway.
