Connecticut’s environmental protection agency is warning motorists to be on the lookout for moose on the road this spring, particularly during the early morning and evening hours.
The alert comes a little more than a week after three people were hospitalized after their car hit a pregnant moose in Goshen, killing the animal and its unborn calf.
During the months of May and June, moose and deer go through their birthing period, a press release from the state’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said Tuesday.
