What do you do if you hit an animal? "Definitely do not touch it"

In Flanders, over 30,000 animals have been reported hit by vehicles in the past four years, with Antwerp leading in incidents. Sanne Ruyts from Natuurpunt advises not to touch injured animals but to take photos and report the incident. If a large animal is involved, it's crucial to contact the police for safety. Injured animals may react unpredictably, so it's best to leave them alone and contact a nearby rescue center if they can be saved. Reporting incidents helps gather data for municipalities to implement protective measures like wildlife crossings.
