Four wild boars hit in one day in Geel: police warns of crossing wildlife

Four wild boars were hit by vehicles on the R14 in Geel, prompting police to warn drivers about crossing wildlife. The incidents occurred between the intersections with Koning Albertstraat and Winkelom, with one boar struck in the morning and three in the evening. The police emphasize that the risk of wildlife crossings increases in autumn due to disturbances from maize harvesting. They advise drivers to be vigilant near forests and fields, adjust speed during twilight, and to brake gently if wildlife is spotted. In case of an accident, drivers should ensure their safety, notify the police, and contact their insurer for further assistance. Over the past four years, at least 30,000 animals have been reported hit on Flemish roads, with Kalmthout noted as the deadliest area.
