Detailed version: Warn other road users The first action after a wildlife accident is to warn other road users. It is of the utmost importance that there are no more accidents, perhaps with a worse outcome than the original accident. You warn other road users by setting up the warning triangle 200-300 m from the accident site in an exposed road field. Furthermore, you should put warning lights on your own vehicle and move it, if possible, to the roadside or parking pocket. Then you take care of any injured, according to your knowledge and ability. Mark the place According to the Hunting Ordinance §40, you are obliged by law to mark the place in a collision with moose, deer, roe deer, wild boar, lynx, wolverine, mouflon sheep, bear, otter, wolf and eagle. If you do not do this, it is considered "contagion" and is subject to a fine. In the event of a collision with a reindeer, you should also mark out the accident site. Immediately after warning other road users, mark the location. Feel free to use Älgskadefondsföreningen's special marking strip. If this is not available, then use a plastic bag or something else that is clearly visible. The place you mark is the one where a dead animal remains on the road or where an injured animal disappeared into the forest. If the animal has disappeared from the place, tie the marking in the roadside where the animal disappeared - not where it came from. If the animal remains on the road surface, if possible, An exception to these routines is when you have collided with a bear or wild boar, as you should not get out of the car at the wildlife accident site. If the vehicle can still be driven, you should instead drive 100 m further away on the road and mark there instead. This must of course be announced in the report to the police. If the vehicle cannot be driven, stay in the car, turn on the hazard warning lights and call the police. Marking of the site and a good directions are a prerequisite for being able to carry out an effective search. This gives the hunter the opportunity to find an injured animal and shorten any suffering. If you can not search the animal, it can die from its injuries. An extremely painful way to die and an animal cruelty that happens completely unnecessarily. Do not follow the trail When marking a wildlife accident site, only do so at the roadside. One should not try to mark the escape route or otherwise trample around the place unnecessarily - it both complicates and delays the tracking work for the hunter and the search dog. The dog knows in which direction the track is going. Report to the police By law, you as a driver are obliged to report a wildlife accident (collision with elk, deer, roe deer, wild boar, lynx, wolverine, mouflon sheep, bear, otter, wolf and eagle) to the police. You do this by calling 112 after you have warned other motorists and marked out the wildlife accident site. Failure to do so will result in "contagion" and a fine. Reindeer and other domestic animals, such as dogs and horses, are also involved in traffic accidents. In the event of a collision with tamboskap, the owner must be notified immediately. If the owner cannot be located or reached, the accident must be reported to the police immediately. It is also important in these cases to mark out the accident site with a marking strip or similar. Give directions When reporting the accident to the police, it is important that you provide as detailed directions as possible. Pay attention to signs, what the environment looks like with special characteristics, etc. If you do not call from a mobile phone, but instead drive to another phone, it is a good tip to reset the trip meter. You then know exactly how far it is to the accident site from the place you are calling from. When you report the accident to the police, you get information from the police officer whether you can leave the accident site or not. If there have been no injuries, or other special circumstances exist, the police rarely come to the scene. The police instead contact the hunting right holder who is given the task of taking care of the killed or injured animal. You are not allowed to take a hit animal home, this counts as theft. The game belongs to the hunting right holder. Damaged game If the animal remains at the collision site and is injured, but still alive, it is permissible to kill the animal if it is a game. If you want to kill an injured game, it is important that you really have the knowledge of how to proceed, so that you do not instead aggravate the animal's suffering. If you can not kill the animal yourself, then wait until the hunter or police arrive at the scene. Sometimes you can also get help from an experienced road user. Also remember to respect the injured animal. Leave it alone and do not stand close, to watch, it will be an incredible stress for the animal who can not escape due to his injuries. You can also be injured yourself if the animal, for example, kicks. You should also keep in mind not to approach a larger ungulate from the front. The animal can suddenly get up and leave with great force. Is it a predator, Dead game If the game you collide with is dead, it is important that you try to pull it off the road. This also applies if it is small game such as rabbit, hare or fox. Stop in a safe way and pull the animal to the roadside. Dead game attracts predators, both mammals and large birds of prey. these in turn can lead to traffic accidents, perhaps with a worse outcome than the first. Undamaged game It is important to note that you report the accident to the police even if the animal has disappeared into the forest seemingly unharmed. If there has been any kind of collision, the accident must be reported - it is impossible for a driver to determine whether the animal is injured or not. It does not have to be a hard collision for the animal to be injured. If, for example, you have run off a leg, there is rarely blood at the accident site and not always any damage to the car. A deer can run long distances with one or more legs injured. It is therefore not the driver's task to assess whether the animal has been injured - this decision must be left to the hunter. If you have collided with a moose cow, it is important to also report whether the cow had calves in tow. These will wander around the area looking for the cone and may cause accidents. Do not kill a hit dog If you run over a dog and injure it, do not kill it, but leave the decision to the vet. Even a seemingly difficult to take or injured dog often has a good chance of being restored if it goes to the vet. Unfortunately, many dogs are killed unnecessarily, after traffic accidents. It is a great loss for the owner, both emotionally and financially. If you drive a dog, the owner must be notified immediately. If the owner cannot be located or reached, the accident must be reported to the police immediately according to law.
