Deer in the headlights caused a few collisions last week.

The first occurred at Accabonac Highway and Floyd Street in East Hampton on Nov. 30 at 9 a.m. Then last Thursday in Montauk, at 3 p.m., a deer was hit on Route 27 near Beech Street.

Later that day, at 6 p.m. on Springs-Fireplace Road near Cedar Ridge Drive in Springs, another animal ran into the path of a car. The final collision happened on Sunday at 5:30 p.m., at the intersection of Cedar Street and Fieldview Lane in East Hampton.

None of the drivers was reported hurt.
