Anyone who has been hit by a deer, wild boar or rabbit must call the police on the emergency number 110 and secure the scene of the accident. This is indicated by the TÜV Süd. The police inform the hunting tenant, who takes care of the animal. But what about the car? It depends on the extent of the damage whether you can continue driving or whether you have to be towed, according to the TÜV. The following points require a towing service: If oil or coolant leaks out, if the headlights are broken or if the windscreen is damaged so that visibility is no longer perfect. A thorough look under the car also shows whether plastic panels have splintered and are chafing or detaching. The police issue drivers with an insurance certificate. In order to get appropriate compensation, photos of the accident site are also useful, the testing organization advises.
